History
The tournament was founded in 2009 with an initial event date of June 12–13, 2010. Originally, it was designed as an alternative to other all-star academic competitions.[2]
The tournament has been held at Vanderbilt University, the University of Maryland, Ohio State University,[3] and the University of Kentucky.[4]
From 2012 to 2018, The National History Bee and Bowl awarded the National Quizbowl Awards at NASAT.[5]
On March 17, 2020, IQBT announced that the 2020 iteration of NASAT would be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
