The 2014 MSHSAA State Championship was held on May 9-10, 2014. Classes 1 and 2 competed on Friday and Classes 3 and 4 played on Saturday.
Questions for Districts and State were provided by NAQT for the fourth year. The use of existing sets for some questions made three A sets (127A, 129A, 133A) and one IS set (136) unavailable for use during the regular season in Missouri.
