NAQT Missouri Qualifier

The first-ever NAQT Missouri Qualifier was held at Missouri S&T on February 16, 2008. While it was not the first Missouri tournament to qualify teams for the NAQT HSNCT, it was the first tournament expressly billed as such (a previous attempt had to be canceled due to lack of interest). It is equivalent to the NAQT State Championships held in other states, but cannot be expressly called a "state championship" due to MSHSAA regulations.

The 2009 edition was held February 21, 2009, again at Missouri S&T. On February 23, 2009, the expected date and location for the 2010 qualifier were announced. It was held on March 20, 2010 at the University of Missouri-Columbia, though it was not directed by the Missouri quizbowl team, but rather by Jeffrey Hill and Matt Chadbourne of MOQBA. This was the first tournament hosted by MOQBA as an organization, and MOQBA plans to continue hosting it each year.

After six years at the University of Missouri, MOQBA moved the tournament to Columbia College, hosting the 2016 Qualifier on March 5.

Small School Recognition

Since the tournament's inception, the top team from a school meeting NAQT's definition of a (traditional public) small school has been recognized as the small school champion. A "very small school" title was introduced in 2018, awarded to the top team from a traditional public small school in MSHSAA Classes 1 or 2 for Scholar Bowl.

MOQBA Online Spring Tournament (MOST)

On December 29, 2020, NAQT announced their decision not to host Sectional Championship Tournaments that decision and, by extension, not allow the respective DII set for use that season. As a result, MOQBA began looking for other sets. The lack of an SSNCT set due to the cancellation of the previous year's SSNCT resulted in effectively every NAQT set being used at multiple Missouri tournaments, and so an mACF set named DART (Detroit Country Day Academic Regular Tournament) was used instead. As it was not an NAQT set and, by extension, not an NAQT championship, the tournament was renamed to the MOQBA Online Spring Tournament, scheduled for the same date the Qualifier was scheduled for.

Similarly to the MOQBA Winter Kickoff two months prior, the tournament hosted a Zoom division and a Google Meet division, with a Small School title up for grabs in each field. Unlike its NAQT predecessor, the tournament was not limited to Missouri teams, as shown by the Kentucky and Illinois teams in the field. The tournament accumulated a field size of 54 (30 Meet, 24 Zoom), the second largest Missouri tournament, trailing only WUHSAC XX's 57 teams.
