Summary
With a smaller field than the 2008 MFAT, Tiger Bowl I featured an eleven-game round-robin (although Lincoln had to leave after round 5 due to an emergency at home). At the conclusion of the round-robin, Parkway Central cleared the field with an 11-0 record. Helias A placed second with a 9-2 record, and SLUH and Fulton both went 8-3. SLUH was the winner of the PPG tiebreaker, and they took home third.

Both Parkway Central and Helias qualified teams for the 2009 PACE NSC.
This particular tournament may perhaps be most notorious, at least among the staff, for an incident the day before. After receiving the questions on Thursday night, Charlie Dees took them on Friday to the Mizzou copy center to have them copied. The staff grudgingly promised that they would finish the copies that afternoon and they would call him when it was complete. After waiting until dinner and receiving no calls, Charlie walked over to the copy center only to find it locked up with his only paper copy of the questions.

Summary
This tournament has featured the smallest field yet of any University of Missouri-hosted high school tournament. Many last-minute dropouts reduced the field size to eight. Teams played a seven-game round-robin, in which NKC cleared the field at 7-0, followed by both Glasgow and Helias A at 5-2. The teams were divided into two brackets based on their round-robin finish, and played a carry-over playoffs. NKC cinched the title, finishing the day undefeated. Glasgow (7-3) and Helias A (6-4) took second and third, respectively. Grant Gates of NKC took the high-scorer title with 132.86 PPG, and "the other Grant Monnig of Glasgow followed with 75.71 PPG. NKC and Glasgow qualified for the 2009 NSC.
This tournament held up the tradition of Tiger Bowl mishaps. Since usual Missouri co-director and Marching Mizzou member Alex Dzurick was unable to commit due to a potential (however unlikely) chance that the Missouri football team would have to play in the Big 12 championships, MOQBA member Sean Phillips graciously stepped in to assist Charlie Dees in tournament day operations. Luckily, Alex was able to be there, because due to an unfortunate incident, Sean injured his ankle the morning of the tournament and was unable to drive to the tournament building. Everything appeared to be going well for the day until the building became known to be double-booked with a fire rescue training institute. Everything was able to be rearranged to accommodate both events, and the rest of the tournament went off without a hitch.
