The High School National Championship Tournament (HSNCT) is run by NAQT every May, typically over Memorial Day weekend. The tournament is a two-day affair, with preliminary rounds Saturday and playoff rounds Sunday; there are also optional practice rounds on the Friday before.
The HSNCT currently draws the largest field of any national tournament. In 2007 it attracted some 160 high school teams from 134 different schools.
Matches from the HSNCT since 2005 are notably recorded and posted on the 9 Minutes podcast.
