The plan is for all TCQT events during the 2025-2026 school year to cost $120 per team for established programs and $60 per team for new programs competing in their first tournament, with a $10 discount per buzzer system provided. Maximizing the numbers of teams and participants is always one of the primary goals for TCQT events. Additional charges will apply for extra items requested such as pizzas. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns about the costs for TCQT events. We look forward to working with you to ensure that your team can attend as many tournaments as possible.
All TCQT tournaments are slated to serve as qualifiers for the 2026 Small School National Championship Tournament (April 24-26 in Rosemont, IL), the 2026 High School National Championship Tournament (May 22-24 in Atlanta, GA), and the 2026 PACE National Scholastic Championship (June 6-7 in Rosemont, IL).
There will be TCQT events in the Houston, Austin, and Corpus Christi areas during the 2025-2026 school year. The hope is to have TCQT events in additional Texas metropolitan areas as well.
