The school typically hosts three tournaments a year: a winter novice tournament for high schools and middle schools, along with two spring tournaments for high schools. In addition to its two national championships, RM placed in the top 10 at HSNCT in 2007, 2011, 2014, 2019, & 2022, and in the top 10 at NSC in 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2021, & 2022.
 
 
==Multiple Formats==
 
The nature of RM's leadership dictates a focus on pyramidal questions and events, leading the team to be a frequent participant on the national stage. In addition to its two National championships, RM finished tied for third at PACE NSC in 2004, sixth at NAQT HSNCT in 2005, second at PACE NSC in 2006, and tied for fifth at NAQT HSNCT in 2007.  However, RM is notable among top-echelon pyramidal teams of recent years in that it has been consistently competitive on much more speed-based formats as well.
