Texas Challengers Quiz Tournaments (TCQT) was founded in 2023 in order to increase Quiz Bowl participation in Texas and provide more affordable, accessible, and fun opportunities to compete at in person Quiz Bowl tournaments. TCQT and its events are focused on growth, fun, affordability, and opportunity. We hope that all TCQT events will be positive experiences for all students, parents, and coaches and that all interactions with people involved with TCQT events will be respectful and positive.
Given that affordability and accessibility are key parts of TCQT's mission, the plan is for all TCQT events to cost $100 per team for established programs and $50 per team for new programs. Additional charges will apply for extra items requested such as pizzas and TCQT merchandise. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns about the costs associated with TCQT events.
Although 2023-2024 will be the inaugural season of TCQT events, TCQT Founder and Director, Adam Camac, successfully served as tournament director for two tournaments in April 2023 that were hosted and sponsored by Cy-Fair High School, whose team Adam coaches, and were not affiliated with TCQT. Results for the 33 team Cy-Fair High School April Fools Invitational (April 1, 2023) and the 20 team Cy-Fair High School April Showers Invitational (April 29, 2023) are available at the links. Both tournaments received positive feedback from numerous students, parents, and coaches.
