2017 Team Missouri

The Missouri Quizbowl Alliance sponsored two teams in the HSAPQ National All-Star Academic Tournament (NASAT) on June 24-25 on the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington, KY. The teams were coached by Jason Loy and David Dennis.

The 25 team field was divided into four pools of either 6 or 7 teams that each played a round robin on Saturday morning. Based on preliminary record, the top three teams in each pool advanced to the 12 team top bracket and the remaining 13 teams advanced to the bottom bracket. Each team carried over the preliminary results against teams in the same playoff pool they had already played Saturday morning, and played the teams in their new bracket that advanced from the other preliminary pools.
