The '''Two Saints Conference''' tournament is a high school tournament held each fall featuring teams from St. Louis County and St. Charles County (the tournament's namesake "Two Saints"). The tournament contains both a Varsity and JV division and includes such top St. Louis Metropolitan area teams as [[Fort Zumwalt West]], [[Francis Howell Central]], [[Eureka (Missouri High School)|Eureka]], and [[Parkway Central]]. Other teams that have participated in the past include [[DeSmet]] and [[Ladue]]

The St. Charles division of the tournament is run by Fort Zumwalt West coach [[Jeremy Gibbs]], while the St. Louis part of the tournament is run by [[Eureka (Missouri High School)|Eureka High School]] Coach Harris and other coaches in the St. Louis area.

== History ==
===2008-2009===
The 2008-2009 Two Saints Tournament featured two St. Louis Divisions, a St. Charles Division, and a Private School Division. This expansion in the number of public school divisions was the result of an effort by tournament coordinator [[Jeremy Gibbs]] to expand participation by St. Louis teams both in the tournament and in Quiz Bowl in general. The creation of a separate Private School Division was at the insistence of [[DeSmet]] Coach Sothers for reasons unknown.

Though the expansion featured problems, including the participation of fewer teams than expected--partially because of the existence of the Private School Division, which stripped away the teams needed to complete the St. Louis area Division--it was nevertheless largely successful. Questions were by 2009 state tournament provider [[Questions Galore]].

This iteration of the Two Saints tournament was the second time a St. Charles team ([[Francis Howell Central]]) had won the tournament. One noteworthy aspect was the last minute withdrawal of the [[Marquette (Missouri High School)|Marquette]] team after its 1-2 record in the first half of playoffs. This withdrawal--and the subsequent elimination of all playoff wins and losses involving Marquette--caused a number of disruptions to the playoffs. Most noteworthy of these was the elimination of Marquette's win over [[Parkway Central]], which made possible Parkway Central's second place showing by making PCH's record 3-1 instead of 3-2, tying it with Francis Howell Central and [[Fort Zumwalt West]]. The winner was thus determined using [[PPG|points per game]], with Francis Howell Central edging out Parkway Central by 35 points per game, and Parkway Central beating out Fort Zumwalt West by slightly over a hundred points per game.

 Perhaps out of recognition of the many problems of [[Questions Galore]], in the 2009-2010 season, the Two Saints Conference switched to questions produced by [[Show-Me Questions]], the question writing company of former [[Savannah (Missouri High School)|Savannah]] coach [[Bill Luce]]. As a result, though the questions remained largely anti-pyramidal and excessively short, they were free of the most egregious problems involving [[Questions Galore]], the occasional [[hose]] notwithstanding.
