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 is: Twenty tossups with boni; boni are worth a total of 20 points and bounce back; unlike most formats, boni do not necessarily break down in multiples of 5.

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.
