The NAQT Southern California Championship (colloquially known as SoCal States) is the state regionals held in the San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles counties of California.

Traditionally, the tournament has been hosted on an IS set, although the 2018 iteration of the tournament used an SCT-DII set. In 2021, the West Coast Championship used STASH, a nationals-level housewrite. DMA was used for the 2023 tournament.

Anecdotes

  • In 2004 (though it might have been TWAIN 2003 instead), a player from Santa Ana Valley High School held the dubious distinction of being the tournament's leading scorer while leading his team to a last-place finish.
  • In 2006, Santa Monica B's victory over Arcadia A, which would have placed them in the top 4, was thrown out after a bizarre protest situation in which a player for Santa Monica B lit a cigarette around tossup 3 or 4 of the match. Naturally, Charles Meigs was moderating this match.
