The 2013 NAQT HSNCT was held in Atlanta, Georgia, May 25-26, 2013. 256 teams attended.
Results
LASA A won against Ladue A in a tense final, in which Ladue powered tossup 23 to bring the score to 440-410. With eight seconds left on the clock and one tossup remaining, the moderator (Seth Teitler) mysteriously declared the game over, then found that he had accidentally skipped one tossup while reading the packet. That skipped tossup was read as tossup 24; LASA got it for 10 points and 30d their bonus to take the championship with a final score of 455-440.
Loyola and St. John's rounded out the final four. Loyola fought its way up to third place after finishing Saturday with a 6-4 record and regaining two players who were absent on Saturday, making it the most successful 6-4 team at any HSNCT to date.
