The NAQT New Jersey Championship is a tournament hosted in New Jersey. It is the only quiz bowl state championship in New Jersey using the standard tossup-bonus format.
In many early years, the top teams played a round-robin group with no final. Where a final is marked with an asterisk (*), it is the game between the top two teams which, in retrospect, decided the tournament. In some other years, all teams but the champion had multiple losses. On occasion, teams from New York State have competed in the tournament; they are marked with a pound sign (#).
The 2004 tournament results are unclear given the information currently available.
2001
4/28/01 at Rutgers: Seton Hall Prep won the championship group, going 5-0. Behind them was a death star of Millburn, Bergen, Bloomfield, Seton Hall Prep-B, and Millburn-B, all 2-3 in the final group.
2002
3/30/02 at Princeton: After a 12-team round-robin, Bergen was 11-0 and Millburn was 8-3. The pre-tournament rules stated that the top two teams would play a one-game final no matter what, and so with Millburn's 320-185 win, they were state champions.
2003
3/29/03 at Rutgers: The four-team championship group was won by East Brunswick over Millburn, Mainland Regional, and Columbia.
2004
2/28/04 at Rutgers: It appears from that page that Columbia and Half Hollow Hills both had one loss over the course of the tournament. Not knowing anything else (and noting that HHH is in New York), I guess Columbia won the 2004 championship.
2005
3/5/05 at Rutgers: Millburn went undefeated through 10 rounds of preliminary and playoff competition, clearing the field over second-place Seton Hall Prep.
2006
3/4/06 at Rutgers: Millburn defended their title, sweeping a championship group of East Brunswick, Livingston, and Seton Hall Prep
2007
3/3/07 at Rutgers: Bergen County Academies went undefeated to win the championship. Pingry placed second, and East Brunswick won a tiebreaker for third place over Delbarton and Pingry-B.
2008
3/8/08 at Rutgers: East Brunswick defeated Millburn 390-180 to win the state title. Bergen County Academies beat Delbarton for third place.
2009
4/25/09 at Bergen County Academies: After the initial attempt to host this tournament in March at Seton Hall failed because of a flood, the tournament was moved to BCA, though run by Chatham. St. Joseph went 9-1 over the 11-team round-robin to win first place; Columbia was 8-2 for second, and two Bergen teams tied with Half Hollow Hills for third.
2010
2/13/10 at Princeton: After each team went 9-0 through preliminary and playoff brackets, Bergen County Academies and St. Joseph faced off in the championship game. St. Joseph defended its title with a 335-280 win, clinched on the final tossup. Livingston defeated East Brunswick for third place.
2011
4/2/11 at Princeton: The top eight teams competed in two parallel playoff brackets. St. Joseph and Seton Hall Prep each went 3-0 in their playoff bracket leading to a showdown between the two players generally considered best in the state. While Alex Frey of St. Joseph outscored Jimmy McGlone of Seton Hall, Seton Hall Prep won the final 365-270. Kellenberg defeated East Brunswick in the third place game.
2012
4/14/12 at Princeton: The format was changed from the previous year by the addition of a semifinal round. In one division, High Tech, Mountain Lakes, and JP Stevens were all tied at 2-1; the first two advanced to the semifinals. In the other division, St. Joseph was undefeated and Millburn also advanced at 2-1. After both teams won competitive semifinal games, High Tech outlasted St. Joseph 305-255 to win their first state title.
For the first time, in 2012, the state championship was also the site of the announcement of the New Jersey All-State team, tryouts for the NASAT team, and recognition of the state Player of the Year. Grace Liu of High Tech and Alex Frey of St. Joseph were named co-POY after a tie in the voting.
2013
4/20/13 at Princeton: The top twelve teams competed in two playoff brackets of six. High Tech and Mountain Lakes both ran through their playoff brackets 5-0 to advance to the championship game where High Tech won their second straight title 375-220. Ridgewood defeated High Tech B in the third place game. Jack Mehr of St. Joseph, which finished fifth place, was named state Player of the Year.
