The NAQT Ohio State Tournament is an annual tournament held in Ohio to determine the recipient of the automatic bid to the NAQT High School National Championship Tournament.

History

In 2005, Greg Bossick received a bid to hold the first NAQT Ohio State Tournament at Youngstown State University. Greg's goal was to attract 32 teams in both Division I (large school) and Division II (small school) and have a separate state championship for each before taking the top 3 schools from each division and playing them off for an overall state championship. Though the plan did not come to pass and a few problems occurred during the day, the tournament was considered successful, although the lack of certain powerhouse state teams diluted the field greatly.

After Greg decided hosting the tournament was too much of a time commitment, Bob Kilner approached him about helping if he bid to host the tournament at Garfield Heights. Greg obliged and the tournament was held from 2006-2008 there with a similar format in 2006, but switching to 32-team powermatching for 2007 and 2008. After Bob Kilner left Garfield Heights following the 2007-08 school year, it was decided that a more centralized championship would be appropriate and Ohio State obtained the bid.
