This article describes the Quiz Bowl team of the University of Missouri. For Quiz Bowl in the state of Missouri, see Missouri (State)

The University of Missouri Quizbowl Club is the official collegiate organization of the University of Missouri's flagship campus at Columbia (also known as MU or Mizzou). The team attends circuit tournaments regularly. Additionally, the team actively hosts both high school tournaments and college tournaments as an organization and serves to assist in the efforts of the Missouri Quizbowl Alliance, of which they field two members.

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.
