Winners of all official NAQT events and most unofficial events using NAQT
questions qualify for the NAQT High School Championship Tournament. NAQT also
accepts several automatic qualifiers from each NAQT state championship (roughly
the top ten percent of the field). NAQT also accepts, at its discretion, as
many at-large qualifiers as are needed to fill the national field, with
preference given to teams which did well at events using NAQT questions.

top two teams of officially designated PACE affiliate tournaments with fields
of less than forty teams qualify for the PACE National Scholastics

each PACE NSC qualify for the next year's NSC.
