 ==History==
-[[Northwestern]] began hosting an annual high school NAQT tournament in 1999, which was the first tournament to consistently use NAQT questions in Illinois. While the tournament started drawing as many as 41 teams in 2001 (with teams coming from Michigan, Missouri, Iowa, and Wisconsin), the tournament has seen a significant decline in attendance since. Northwestern no longer hosts a high school tournament with NAQT questions, though they still host high school and middle school tournaments.
+[[Northwestern]] began hosting an annual high school NAQT tournament in 1999, which was the first tournament to consistently use NAQT questions in Illinois. While the tournament started drawing as many as 41 teams in 2001 (with teams coming from Michigan, Missouri, Iowa, and Wisconsin), the tournament went through declining organization and interest. It stopped using NAQT questions circa 2009 and stopped occurring around 2014. Northwestern no longer hosts a high school tournament, though they have hosted a middle school tournament with NAQT questions annually since about 2010.
-Prior to 2005 few Illinois teams attended NAQT tournaments outside of Illinois.  Perhaps, most notoriously, [[Loyola Academy]] attended and won the Iowa State Championship in 2004, a year in which it did not even advance from its own regional in the [[2004 IHSA State Championship Tournament|IHSA State Series]].  People such as [[David Riley]], [[Linda Greene]], and [[David Reinstein]] began pushing for more tournaments to be run on good questions like NAQT, which led to a gradual increase in the number of tournaments using the questions, and the number of teams coming out to the NAQT State Tournament.

 While Illinois quizbowl questions had been gradually improving during the early 2000s, it was not until the 2004-05 season that Illinois would get its own regular state championship and qualifier for the [[HSNCT]]. This came largely at the request of [[Loyola Academy]] coach [[David Riley]]. In the years that followed, question quality saw a gradual improvement.  Local tournament and match formats are now largely in line with national standards.

The NAQT Illinois State Tournament is the newest of the Illinois quiz bowl state championship tournaments compared to the older [[IHSA]] and [[Masonic]] formats of Illinois Scholastic Bowl. Teams competing in all three tournaments refer to this as the "Triple Crown". Compared to the IHSA or Masonic, teams qualify for NAQT State through top performances in tournaments using NAQT sets.
