The Intercollegiate Championship Tournament (ICT) is an annual event held by NAQT. Along with ACF Nationals, the ICT is one of the two tournaments which determine a national champion each year in collegiate quizbowl.

Competitors must be invited to the ICT based on performance at Sectional Championship Tournaments held around North America in February. British teams have also been invited in past years.

ICT is divided into Division I and Division II. Division I is the general collegiate division and awards the overall national championship. Division II is a "novice" style division, limited to university players who are in their first year of ICT competition, and to Community College players in their first three years.

The tournament has been held every spring since 1997. The Undergraduate and Division II titles were first awarded in 1998, and the Community College title was first awarded in 2002.

Notes

Post-hoc adjustments

The 2012 Undergraduate title was originally awarded to Illinois. It was later found that, due to an honest misunderstanding of the eligibility rules, Illinois was not eligible for Undergraduate placement, though they retained their second-place overall finish. The UG trophy was then awarded to MIT; however, Josh Alman was found to have cheated. Ohio State, originally named the third-place UG finisher, turned out to be the highest-finishing eligible UG team.

The 2009 and 2011 Undergraduate, 2010 DI, and 2011 DI championships were originally awarded to Harvard, however, Andy Watkins was found to have cheated, and Harvard's wins were vacated and given to the teams originally announced as runners-up in those divisions.

Top Community College

Beginning in 2009, NAQT determined its official community college national championship at the CCCT. From 2009 to 2014 the top-finishing community college in the DII ICT was recognized as "ICT Top Community College" but did not become the community college national champion. However, the CCCT champion also won the ICT Top Community College trophy in every year from 2010 to 2014; in 2009, Reynolds won the CCCT but Northeast Alabama won the ICT Top Community College trophy.

Ties

NAQT policy is to play off the top three spots so that there are no ties. Due to the adjustment of team standings in 2011 after Harvard's disqualification, what was formerly thought to be a fourth-place tie turned out to be a third-place tie too late to resolve it at the tournament. Both Chicago and VCU are now tied for third and there is no fourth-place team for that year. It is possible to have an unresolved fourth-place tie in the current tournament format, as well as most prior ones, and this has happened on two other occasions noted above.
