Various computer-based competitions have seen significant crossover in participation with quizbowl teams in the past. These include:
- The Knowledge Master Open, the original and most popular such event, which ran from 1983 to 2013
- The QUEST tournament, a KMO-like event operated by Questions Unlimited for several years in the 1990s
- NAQT's announced Klepsydra project, a KMO competitor that did not make it to market
- 3-2-1, a new KMO-style competition from Questions Unlimited that began in fall 2013
- QuizNet, a chatroom-based tournament from Questions Unlimited
- The qualifying rounds of the Stars 2000 tournament
- Twenty Questions, a webpage-based quiz from Questions Unlimited with frequent plagiarism from old college quizbowl packets
- Online quizbowl competitions and scrimmages; these use modern Internet technology to actually simulate a "good quizbowl" match remotely, and are distinguished from all of the above contests, which are more like a real-time written trivia quiz
- The National Academic League usually holds intra-state and national competitions via online conferencing
- NAQT's Buzzword, an asynchronous competition in which pyramidal questions are presented through audio, and points awarded depending on how early the player buzzes
