• It is assumed that an edition of this tournament was held in 1999, since "Battle of the Burgh II" was held in 2000; however, NAQT's website does not list results for any non-HSNCT tournament for the 1998-1999 season.
• There were two 2004 editions of this tournament: the first was held on March 20, 2004, and the second was held on November 20, 2004.
• In 2008, North Allegheny and Shady Side A tied for 2nd.
• In 2011, Camp Hill and Rocky Grove finished tied for 2nd.
• The 2011 edition was deemed "Battle of the Burgh XIV", but at this time evidence of only 13 Battles of the Burgh (Battle of the Burghs?) have been found.
• In the 2017 Tournament, Allderdice A was initially declared the winner. However, due to an error using SQBS, Winchester Thurston had actually won and was retroactively awarded first.
