Hosted Events
Note 1: The Missouri Quizbowl Alliance frequently utilizes the resources available at Missouri via having two members on the current Missouri team. Due to Columbia's centralized location, MU's campus has served as the location for the most recent NAQT Missouri Qualifier and will also see the first-ever nationals prep tournament held in Missouri. However, the Missouri team is not officially the host organization for these events, though the team is affiliated with MOQBA.
Note 2: While the campus of the University of Missouri is the official site for the MSHSAA state championship quizbowl tournament, the members of the Missouri team are in no way affiliated with the direction, organization, or other facets of the tournament.
