Using a disk which is mailed to participating teams, questions and five

other schools. For more information, see http://www.greatuk.com/kmo.html.

per team (sometimes two) and conferral is permitted at all times. An incorrect

school can enter. "JV" in this box means that all players must be in
grades 9 or 10 unless otherwise noted; however, some tournaments with JV
divisions do NOT require that JV players be underclassmen; these tournaments
will not have "JV" in the entrance restrictions box. Teams may only
play once on each NAQT invitational set; see NAQT’s schedule page for information on which set is being used for which
tournament.

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
