National Champions List

Hayden Hurst originally composed this document in 2000. We, at Maize Pages, have taken up the mantle with his blessing.

Five quizbowl organizations currently claim champions.

In case you don't know:
CBI emphasizes 'quick recall' questions;
ACF favors questions on science, literature, history and the classics;
NAQT emphasizes a wide variety of questions that are harder than CBI's
TRASH asks questions exclusively on popular culture
HCASC is a separate tournament run by CBI that is especially for historically black colleges and universities

Notes

ACF includes the results of the Academic Competition Foundation (1991-97) and the Academic Competition Federation (1997-).

"No Tournament" indicates that the specific organization did not sponsor a national championship that season.

TRASH is unique among national championships in that it allows both non-students or alumni and teams with players from more than one school.

TRASH results include the general affiliation of the majority of the finisher's members.

TMP are not endorsing any one championship over the other, and TMP is trying to include every national championship held in the US at the intercollegiate level.

CBI suspended campus operations in 2008-09.
