HSNCT
30 Missouri schools have made a total of 63 appearances at HSNCT, including 3 appearances by B teams. Missouri's best finish at HSNCT was Ladue's second place finish in 2013. Other Missouri teams to appear in the playoffs include North Kansas City (4 times), Ladue B, Francis Howell Central, Helias, Savannah (3 times), and Hallsville B.
9 of 12 small school eligible appearances by Missouri teams have resulted in advancement to the small school playoffs. Missouri's best finish in the small school playoffs was in 2013 when Hallsville B tied for fifth and became the first small school eligible team from Missouri to ever advance to the overall playoffs.
Missouri teams have compiled a 328-362 record at HSNCT.
NSC
15 Missouri schools have made a total of 30 appearances at NSC, including 5 appearances by B teams and 2 appearances by C teams. Missouri's best finish at NSC was in 2013, when Ladue went 18-1 and earned the first pyramidal national championship by a team from Missouri. In addition to Ladue's 2012 and 2013 appearances, North Kansas City is the only other Missouri team to appear in the NSC playoffs, doing so in 1999 and 2008. No Missouri team has advanced to the playoffs without also attending HSNCT in the same year.
14 teams from 9 Missouri schools attended the 2012 NSC at Washington University in St. Louis, the only pyramidal high school national championship ever hosted in Missouri.
Missouri teams have compiled a 140-264 record at NSC. (These counts do not include any games from North Kansas City's 6th place finish in 1999, as those records have apparently been lost.)
NASAT
The Missouri Quizbowl Alliance has sponsored a team from Missouri at every NASAT to date. Missouri's best finish was in 2013, when a team consisting of Jialin Ding, Max Schindler, Haohang Xu, and Ben Zhang (all from Ladue) defeated Texas in a 1 game final to win Missouri's first ever all-star national title.
