 Since the founding of the team, Culver Academies has usually hosted a few [[NAQT]] tournaments each year, including a Midwestern Championship in early-mid May.
-In 2008, Culver "hosted" a Goldfish Tournament on NAQT questions.  Teams participate at their home schools, making note not only of the questions that are answered correctly, but at the point in the questions where the question is answered.  Theoretically, the results will not only permit a ranking of participating teams, but will permit "head-to-head" comparisons of each team.  While not the same as a true "head-to-head" match up, and limited to a single round, the tournament attracted several dozen teams.

 The Culver Academies Quiz Bowl team was founded during the 2004-2005 school year by Mr. Blessman, in his first year at the Academies after moving from the [[Conserve School]] way up in the hinterlands of Wisconsin.  The table he set up at the Activities Fair that Labor Day was not flashy - just a poster of Uncle Sam encouraging students to join quiz bowl.  At the first practice nearly 20 players showed up - the most to ever attend a quiz bowl practice at the Academies.  At this practice, two players distinguished themselves: Noah Weiss, a senior, and Lane Pratt, a junior.  Also noted at the practice was the lightning-fast math skills of [[Bryce Durgin]], who would become a force in Indiana quiz bowl by his senior year in all areas other than math.  Thus, the Academies' team was born.
-In 2009 Culver won the NAC State Championship, and in 2011 and 2012 the team won back-to-back Class AAA Rotary State Championships. Nationally, the teams best results have been at the 2009, 2010, and 2012 NAQT HSNCT, where Culver advanced to the second round of the playoffs. From 2009-2014, Lauren Coil-Sherck, aka "[[Culver Stats Lady]]" served as [[Phil Blessman]]'s Assistant Coach, and she took over the Head Coach spot in 2014 when Blessman moved on to JFKS-Berlin.
