The Bulldog High School Academic Tournament, or BHSAT (IPA: [bi.'eɪʧ.sæt]), was an annual spring tournament for high school teams hosted by Yale; it was hosted on a question set of the same name, house-written by the Yale team at a difficulty somewhat higher than regular high school difficulty. Once one of the premier tournaments in the nation, BHSAT attracted teams from across the entire country well into the 2000s; it eventually lost a lot of its national field as fewer teams made the trip to what was perceived as a mediocre set.

For the 2011 edition forward, though, editors Matt Jackson and John Lawrence began to ensure that the questions meet the best standards of modern quizbowl writing each year, and begun re-expanding the field out to a national audience, both by inviting teams to the main site and by establishing multiple mirror sites in other circuits across the nation (such as a partnership with WUHSAC starting in 2013).

A BHSAT set has not been produced since 2021; it is unclear as of yet whether the set will return. In 2023, past BHSAT contributor Daniel Ma produced his own high school set, DMA, which was hosted at Yale in a similar spring timeframe in partnership with AQBL as "the Charter Cup" [1] [2].

Note: it is presumed from the numbering of the tournament that it has happened for 20 consecutive years; since it emerged in the fog before recorded history, this may not be the case.
