The finals were unsurprisingly chaotic, with multiple protests including [[Hunter|Hunter A]] protesting [[Churchill Middle|Churchill A]]'s answer of Brian Cooper for Bradley Cooper, resulting in [[Hunter|Hunter A]] receiving a tossup on Ender Wiggin which they incorrectly answered with Ender Wiggins. [[Hunter|Hunter A]] would also fruitlessly protest [[Churchill Middle|Churchill A]]'s pronunciation of Saint-Saens [sɛ̃ sɑ̃(s)] as [sɑ̃t sens], as would [[Churchill Middle|Churchill A]] protest a found-to-be-nonexistent blurt by [[Hunter|Hunter A]] on a Brooklyn tossup. The game would be ended on tossup 21 as [[Moxie Strom]], [[Hunter|Hunter A]]'s third scorer, first line powered a question on Oliver Twist, which she had been reading the day before, and the time dripped out on the bonus, resulting in [[Hunter|Hunter A]]'s 280-250 victory.

Hunter A's top scorers were Jacob Hardin-Bernhardt with 60.26 PPG and Ian Lu with 58.96 PPG. Hopkins (Fremont, California) placed third, while Liberty (Madison, Alabama) came in 4th place.

Summary

Each team at the 2019 MSNCT played eight preliminary rounds. Hunter A took the first playoff seed after going 8-0. Teams had to have at least a 5-3 record to advance to the double-elimination playoff, which, for the first time, would be held on questions more similar to NAQT IS sets.

Hunter A was defeated by Liberty 355-275 in the second round of playoffs, and went on to fight their way through the lower bracket, eliminating Midtown Classical, Burleigh Manor, Daniel Wright, and Aptakisic to climb back to the top 4. Meanwhile, Churchill A defeated Liberty 305-210 to claim a spot in the finals.

Churchill A and Hunter A then played, in a game in which if Churchill A won they would advance to the finals with advantage, while if Hunter A won they would play the winner of the game between 2 card Liberty and 3 card Hopkins for a spot in a one-game final against Churchill A. Hunter A won 415-225, then defeated Hopkins 435-130 to advance to the final against Churchill A.

The finals were chaotic, with multiple protests. The game ended on tossup 21 when Moxie Strom powered on Oliver Twist and the clock ran out during the bonus, resulting in a 280-250 Hunter A victory.

NAQT gave out All-Star awards to the top 30 players in the tournament, and Rising Star awards to the top eight non-eighth grade players. The top All-Star was Arin Parsa with 138.02 PPG, who was followed by Pareekshith Krishna with 110.99 PPG and Lukas Koutsoukos with 106.99 PPG, respectively.
