Format

The tournament used NAQT IS-124 with untimed NAQT rules. Due to a new MSHSAA requirement, some gameplay rules were modified to match MSHSAA rules, most notably that players had to be recognized by name before providing an answer to a tossup.

The thirty teams were divided into five pools of 6 teams each, and each played a round robin. The top 2 teams in each pool, as well as the top 2 third place teams by record then average points remained in contention for the championship, and were divided into 2 equal pools of 6. The remaining 18 teams were ranked by position in bracket, then record, then points; teams 13-18 advanced to consolation bracket 1, teams 19-24 advanced to championship bracket 2, and teams 25-30 advanced to championship bracket 3. Each bracket played a round robin. Following the playoffs, the top 2 teams in each championship bracket based on record then points per game advanced to a crossover superplayoff.
