The Intercollegiate Championship Tournament (ICT) is an annual event held by NAQT. Along with ACF Nationals, the ICT is one of the two tournaments which determine a national champion each year in collegiate quizbowl.
Competitors must be invited to the ICT based on performance at Sectional Championship Tournaments held around North America in February. British teams have also been invited in past years.
ICT is divided into Division I and Division II. Division I is the general collegiate division and awards the overall national championship. Division II is a "novice" style division, limited to university players who are in their first year of ICT competition, and to Community College players in their first three years.
The tournament has been held every spring since 1997. The Undergraduate and Division II titles were first awarded in 1998, and the Community College title was first awarded in 2002.
