+North Kansas City has hosted many tournaments over the years in varying formats. Earlier iterations were generally hosted in a [[four-quarter]] format.

With only 4 teams there was a round robin, and then [[Lexington (Missouri High School)|Lexington]] decided to leave after the third game, so everyone decided to just play an advantaged final and end early.
