Individual Player National Championship Tournament

IPNCT logo

Quiz bowl is usually a team game, but the Individual Player National Championship Tournament (IPNCT) welcomes individual players to see how their knowledge, reflexes, and anticipation stack up against those of other elite competitors.

The tournament is intended for high school players, but ambitious middle school players are welcome too. No prior qualification is required. (In 2019, 2021, and 2022 a separate Middle School Division was offered.)

The 2023 IPNCT was won by Rohan Ganeshan of Buffalo Grove High School (Buffalo Grove, Illinois). It was held on Sunday, April 2 at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont, Illinois (near Chicago).

The 2024 IPNCT will be Sunday, April 7 at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont, Illinois (near Chicago).
