The 2024 NAQT Intercollegiate Championship Tournament was held at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, IL.

In Division I, avenging their narrow loss in the previous year, Chicago A cleared the field to win the title. WUSTL came in 2nd, with two losses; Stanford A placed third after defeating Toronto in a third-place game.

In an echo of its win at the IQBT Undergraduate Championship weeks earlier, Cornell won the Division I Undergraduate title after defeating Georgia Tech.

In Division II, Waterloo became the first-ever team to defend a Division II title, defeating Columbia B in the first game of an advantaged final.

Trivia

  • As Georgia State, Amogh Kulkarni became the first solo player (ever? in a very long time?) [citation needed] to reach the top bracket of Division I, going 6-1 in his prelim bracket.
    • He did this while wearing a Chicago hoodie, in a nod to his former school.
    • He did this with a lower prelim PPB (11.35) than any team to make playoffs at ICT within the last 15 years; 2099 MIT made top bracket with an even lower prelim PPB of 10.44.
  • Toronto's 4th-place finish in Division I, their first top 4 finish, is the highest ever by any team from Canada in that division, and the highest such finish for any team from Canada in a U.S.-based collegiate championship with an unrestricted field.
