2022 SSNCT
The 2022 Small School National Championship Tournament was the eighth iteration of NAQT's SSNCT, held on April 24th and 25th at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, IL. As with previous iterations, the tournament was split into two separate divisions: the Traditional Public Schools Division, which was open to public school with fewer than 500 students enrolled in the top three grades; and the Open Division, which was open to schools which did not meet the definition of a "Traditional Public School" and which had fewer than 350 students enrolled in their top three grades. The Traditional Public Schools Division also contained a Very Small Schools subdivision, which consisted of public schools with fewer than 300 students enrolled in their top three grades.
55 teams contested the Traditional Public Schools division, 27 of which were categorized as Very Small Schools. A further 55 teams contested the Open Division.
