- The Knowledge Master Open, the original and most popular such event, which ran from 1983 to 2013
- The QUEST tournament, a KMO-like event operated by Questions Unlimited for several years in the 1990s

- 3-2-1, a new KMO-style competition from Questions Unlimited that began in fall 2013
- QuizNet, a chatroom-based tournament from Questions Unlimited
- The qualifying rounds of the Stars 2000 tournament
- Twenty Questions, a webpage-based quiz from Questions Unlimited with frequent plagiarism from old college quizbowl packets

- The National Academic League usually holds intra-state and national competitions via online conferencing
- NAQT's Buzzword, an asynchronous competition in which pyramidal questions are presented through audio, and points awarded depending on how early the player buzzes
