Recently hosted Tournaments

On November 17, 2007, NKC hosted a Junior Varsity tournament that had 22 teams and which was won by Park Hill South HS. It is noted for the circulation of its questions to college players for amusement. On December 8th, NKC, in an attempt to expand pyramidal questions in Missouri, tried hosting an NAQT tournament on set 69A. After a large number of dropouts within the month before the tournament, 3 teams did not show up. With only 4 teams there was a round robin, and then Lexington decided to leave after the third game, so everyone decided to just play an advantaged final and end early. Liberty HS, going undefeated in the prelims, won the final against Savannah HS. Stats are found at [1]
