Hosted Events
Note 1: The Missouri Quizbowl Alliance frequently utilizes the resources available at Missouri via having multiple members on the current Missouri team and due to Columbia's centralized location. However, the Missouri team is not officially the host organization for these events.
Note 2: While the campus of the University of Missouri is the official site for the MSHSAA state championship quizbowl tournament, the members of the Missouri team are in no way affiliated with the direction, organization, or other facets of the tournament.
