 WUHSAC is one of the flagship tournaments of the Missouri high school quiz bowl [[the circuit|circuit]], usually drawing around 30 teams. WUHSAC is also noteworthy as one of the few Missouri tournaments which draws a large number of out of state teams, recently from places like Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee and Florida.

 Unusually, WUHSAC uses 20-point [[power]]s in a simulacrum of the [[NSC]]. All other aspects are the same as in standard quizbowl; there are 5-point [[neg]]s and no [[bounceback]]s on bonuses.

 Prior to 2013, WUHSAC was intended to be a slightly harder than average house-written tournament, similar to Harvard's [[HFT]]. Beginning with the 2008 iteration, the set drew criticism from players such as [[Charlie Dees]] due to poor difficulty control, the use of biographical clues, and generally poor writing quality. This criticism eventually led to the adoption of [[Yale]]'s [[BHSAT|Bulldog High School Academic Tournament]] set in 2013, which was well-received.
