The 2018 VHSL State Championship was held on 24 February 2018 at William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and was the 21st iteration of the VHSL Scholastic Bowl state tournament. 24 teams competed in six size classifications of four teams each. Questions were provided by NAQT for the first time.
Advancement
The 2018 VHSL Realignment reincorporated district play as well as a four-region plan, closer to the 1998-2013 playoff format. This change did away with the larger conferences and two-region plan that were used from 2014-2017. However, districts were allowed the ability to forego a district season and/or tournament in favor of an all-in Regional tournament, provided that all districts within a region agreed to forego district play. The new playoff format also introduced "Super Regions"-- AB and CD, which functioned as a sort of State Semi-final, but again, certain classes opted to forego Super Region tournaments altogether.
In Classes 1, 3, and 4, Super Regions were employed. Classes 2 and 5 opted instead to send their Regional Champions directly to state-- the first time in VHSL Scholastic Bowl history that Region runners-up did not advance to the next level of play. In Class 6, Regions 6C and 6D held a combined Super Region 6CD tournament, but 6A and 6B did not.
Tournament Format
Each match consisted of a round of fifteen tossups, ten bounceback "directed questions" for each team, and a concluding phase of fifteen more tossups. Tossups were scored in the normal quizbowl way. Directed questions were worth 10 points each and functioned similarly to a single-part bonus, but their reading was not correlated to answering tossups.
The four teams in each of the six classes competed against each other in a three-round round-robin; this was the fifth time the format was used, after its introduction in the 2014 VHSL Realignment.
