unless otherwise noted. Detailed rules may be found on the websites listed for

NSC format
is: bouncebacks on all boni and no -5s on tossups, opening phase of ten tossups
with 20-point related boni, second phase of eight tossups with 15-point, one-part
boni chosen from a category list, and final phase of ten tossups with open,
20-point powers and unrelated 30-point boni. Some tournaments other than the
actual PACE NSC using NSC format may truncate the number of tossups in each
phase.
Four quarter format is: A phase of tossups, a phase of tossups with boni, a category
phase, and another phase of tossups. Variations exist.
It's Academic format: See http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Aegean/4992/itvshow.html.
Illinois format

Celebrity Shoot format: See http://www.cwru.edu/orgs/trivia/hsbio/format.html.
KMO format:
Using a disk which is mailed to participating teams, questions and five
possible answers are displayed on the screen. The point value of each question
decreases from a maximum of 10 depending on how long it takes to answer. If the
first answer given is incorrect, the team can try again for 2 points. The
team's score is reported to Academic Hallmarks and compared to the scores of
other schools. For more information, see http://www.greatuk.com/kmo.html.
Panasonic format: A phase of twenty 5-point tossups; one 10-point written question; a
phase of twenty 10-point tossups; one 20-point written question; a phase of
twenty-five 15-point tossups; one 30-point written question There is only one
buzzer per team (sometimes two) and conferral is permitted at all times. An
incorrect answers causes a deduction of the question’s value; an incorrectly
answered question may not be answered by any other teams.
Entrance restrictions: "Varsity only" means only one team per
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.
Qualification:
All tournament winners qualify for the ASCN Tournament of Champions.
NAC: Winners of all tournaments of eight or more teams,
finalists of tournaments of 32 or more teams, teams which “can demonstrate that
they are the best of 16,” winners of QuizNet matches, winners of the QU “20
Questions” contest, and the top 33 finishers of the
previous year’s NAC qualify.
Qualification
for the Panasonic Academic Challenge in states without a qualifying tournament
is at the discretion of the national tournament. PAC teams may be composed of
all-stars from various schools in the state or may represent a single school.
NAQT:
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.
PACE: The
top two teams of officially designated PACE affiliate tournaments with fields
of less than forty teams qualify for the PACE National Scholastics
Championship. The top four teams of officially designated PACE affiliate
tournaments with fields of forty or more teams qualify for the PACE National
Scholastics Championship. PACE also accepts at-large qualifiers at its
discretion, with preference given to teams which finished highly but out of
contention for automatic bids at PACE affiliate events. The top 4 teams from
each PACE NSC qualify for the next year's NSC.
