Oklahoma Quiz Bowl Alliance
The Oklahoma Quiz Bowl Alliance was an organization founded by Eric Bell and Greg Oppel to promote the growth of good quizbowl in Oklahoma. The OQBA hosted a spring and fall tournament each year, as well as the NAQT Oklahoma State Championship. OQBA also sponsored a number of other pyramidal quizbowl tournaments in Oklahoma, such as the Timberwolf Invitational, Bulldog Invitational, and Azalea Bowl. The last official OQBA event was held in 2014.

NAQT Fall Series
After the last fall ASCN event in 2007, OQBA began running a second NAQT tournament to compliment the spring series. As the organization began shifting its focus to sponsoring events hosted by other schools across the state, the spring series was dropped, leaving the fall tournament the only official OQBA event. The fall tournament ran for seven iterations between 2008 and 2014, the last of which was the last event hosted or sponsored by the OQBA.
