The following is the official NAQT policy
regarding HSNCT qualification.
1. The top 15% of
teams from official NAQT state championships and other
state championships that use NAQT questions qualify for
HSNCT. A minimum of 3 teams will qualify from each such
event.
2. The top 10% of teams from official NAQT "tour"
events will qualify for HSNCT. A minimum of 2 teams will
qualify for each event.
3. The winning team of an
unofficial NAQT event or a non-NAQT state championship
qualifies for HSNCT.
4. Teams may be granted a
wild-card entry based on outstanding performance throughout
the year, especially in areas where there are few or
no NAQT events.
