If Purdue were to host a upper HS difficulty tourney for OH, IN, IL, and MI teams in March, what date typically isn't used in March?

My guess is one of 3/10 or 3/17 (or maybe 3/24?) will be History Bowl at Tipp.


Does this mean NAQT HS State and NAQT MS States will be at different locations? Big, if true.

Historically for Ohio, I don't think there's been a consistent event the second Saturday in March (next year the 10th), although previous events that weekend have drawn only small fields for whatever reason (I suspect either early spring breaks or SAT).

State History Bowl was March 4 this year, March 19 in 2016, and March 14 in 2015, for whatever that's worth.

I thought it'd help to have a full list of the question sets that are usually produced each year so that those who want to host tournaments can know what's available to mirror. If they are multiple sites in the state / neighboring states, I'll put what region each site is in witihin parentheses. I can add OAC sets to the list later, as well as middle school sets, but for now this is based on the question set list on hsquizbowl.org:

Novice/A-sets:

NAQT IS#167A - Solon Fall?
NAQT IS#169A - Tippecanoe?
NAQT IS#171A - Boardman?

NAQT IS#175A -
2017 SCOP Novice 8 - WRC Conference Tournament at North HS
PENN Novice? -

Regular Difficulty:

NAQT IS#168 -
NAQT IS#170 - Rowdy Raider
NAQT IS#172 -
NAQT IS#174 - Solon Comet Winter Clash Saturday
NAQT IS#176 - States
Columbia Housewrite -
Beavercreek Fall - Beavercreek
Masonic -
LIST -
POMMSS -
GSAC - Shateyahronya III at Olentangy Liberty HS
BASQT -
VTACO -

Formal announcement will be made in the future but just so everyone knows, Copley High School in conjunction with myself will be hosting the first OAC format Middle School State Championship on April 14th.

This is not an official OAC Committee run event but may be something that is looked at in future years. Sue and I are working to run the pilot of it this year to see how it goes!

Edit: There will be no formal qualification process or anything - it will work just like MS NAQT State.

Is Winter War @ OSU officially cancelled? I've heard nothing about it, and noticed Joshua is going on that same day for Chillicothe's NAQT event.

It's listed in the top of this thread, but not on the OAC calendar: https://sites.google.com/site/ohioacade ... olcalendar

Any info?

We are replacing the Waverly tournament that had that day before.
