NAQT was delighted that qualifying tournaments were held in 40 of the 50 states in 2007-2008, but that still means that schools in 10 states did not have an easily accessible tournament at which they could compete for a chance to be recognized as one of the top teams in the country.

To continue the rapid growth of quiz bowl, NAQT is offering free tournament questions to any institution interested in running a high school tournament during the 2008-2009 school year in any of those 10 states plus Montana (which had only one tournament): Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming. This offer also extends to U.S. territories including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands.

The questions come with all the usual benefits of hosting a tournament with NAQT questions including free advertising in the NAQT newsletter, a listing on the NAQT online schedule, and conferring qualifier status for the 2009 High School National Championship.

Hosts will have their choice from NAQT's A-level invitational series of 12 packets with questions targeted at younger, less experienced teams, or NAQT's regular invitational series of 15 packets aimed at established teams. Samples of both kinds of packets are available on the NAQT website.
