2019 MSHSAA State Championship
The 2019 MSHSAA State Championship will be held on May 3-4, 2019. Classes 1 and 2 compete on Friday and Classes 3 and 4 play on Saturday.
Questions and Format
Questions for Districts and State were provided by NAQT for the eighth year.
The MSHSAA Board of Directors approved a three-year trial of a 26 tossup with three part bonus format, breaking away from MSHSAA's previous 50 tossup/20 bonus four quarter format. The sets use NAQT's standard distribution for a 22 tossup-bonus packet with additional math questions. All questions are worth 10 points each with no powers or negs.
To produce the question sets for conferences and the state series, IS-176A, IS-178A, and IS-183 were unavailable for use during the regular season in Missouri. With the format change only requiring the use of two A-sets compared to three in previous years, IS-184A was available for late season tournaments.
Districts
Sixteen district tournaments in each of the four classes were held on April 6. District championship game matchups are posted here.
Sectionals

Records and Notes
- Thomas Jefferson Independent had qualified for twenty consecutive Class 1 state championships, winning ten. Due to population fluctuations and MSHSAA's change to determine enrollments using only grades 9-11 rather than 9-12, the school was moved to class 2. Their state appearance streak ended with a 580-360 loss to College Heights Christian in the District 6 championship game. College Heights enters the 2019 state tournament with the longest active appearance streak at ten years.
