+'''Middle school quizbowl''' has been around since the mid to late 20th century, but there was little to no national effort to bring states together and improve quality until 2009. As of 2026-27, there are state championships held on NAQT questions in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and Oklahoma, and there are other state championships in Alabama, Illinois, and probably more states.

+[[NAQT]] produced its first middle school set, MS-01, in 2011, and hosted the first annual [[MSNCT]], won by [[Kealing]], that same year. NAQT now produces four regular middle school sets each year in addition to the MSNCT set. The 2026 MSNCT had a field size of 192 teams, more than half of the [[HSNCT]] field. There were teams from 30 states. MS sets are used at regular season tournaments a few hundred times each year.
