2024 OAC Regionals
The 2024 OAC Regional Tournaments were held at various sites around Ohio on April 13, 2024, to determine the teams who would advance to the 2024 OAC State Tournament.
Format
Six different regional tournaments were held at these sites:
| Region | Site |
| North Coast | Solon High School - Solon, OH |
| Northeast | Copley High School - Akron, OH |
| Northwest | Sidney High School - Sidney, OH |
| Southeast | Fisher Catholic High School - Lancaster, OH |
| Southwest | Indian Hill High School - Cincinnati, OH |
| West Central | Northmont High School - Dayton, OH |
Each tournament had a double-elimination format, with between 10 and 15 teams participating from each region. After a team lost two games, they would be placed into a consolation bracket with teams who lost in the same round as them.
Teams were seeded based on a 50-question seeding test given before the first round of play. Highly-seeded teams received first-round byes depending on how many teams were in their region.
The top two placing teams from each region would automatically advance to the state tournament. The other four state tournament qualifiers (wild cards) were determined based on a formula using controllable points (the amount of points scored on team and alphabet round questions) across all regions. New for the 2024 season was a rule that teams could not be considered for a wild-card berth if a team who placed in front of them in their region failed to qualify.
