General: The Carmel Quiz Bowl Team is excited to announce the Boilermaker Spring Tournament (BST) : a regular-season quiz bowl tournament for high-school teams. This tournament will be held in-person at Carmel High School on April 30, 2022. I, Akash Bhowmik, will be the tournament director for this...

What type of PACE qualification does this tournament offer?

As some of you guys may know, the Purdue Buzzathon is coming up soon on December 19, but we are very low on registrations from Indiana teams. Is it not possible to advertise this tournament more amongst the schools in Indiana? Possibly IASP could send an announcement, but also I think another good i...

So if we're going to have the Purdue Buzzathon this year, which might possibly be the only independently hosted NAQT tournament held in Indiana this year, do we think it's a possibility to try starting a NASAT team in Indiana for this year? I think this would be a great addition, and with proper mo...

Are there any updates on the state of Quiz Bowl in Indiana? I think it would be a great idea if the typical tournaments we have during the school year, such as Harrison's Fall Tournament in October or the Purdue Buzzathon could be moved online, which would be very useful for teams in Indiana that ca...

Hey guys,

Thank you so much for your replies and offering us help for our planned tournament. We'll be looking into what opportunities pop up for us, and I'll let all of you know our plans, and hopefully we can successfully organize something. Sorry for my late reply too!

Hey there!

We're planning on hosting a Discord tournament in around July, but we don't have any experience with directing or moderating. We'd be happy if you could help us moderate our planned event. Reply if you're interested, and we'll give more details.

Thanks!

Alright so I've been doing some research on NASAT and I was thinking whether we could do some sort of online tryouts, as Pennsylvania does a set of tryouts on Discord to decide their NASAT team. I think that would be most convenient, and if we made it all tossups or something, it should go smoothly....

Hey guys, I was wondering whether this would be something that would interest anyone, but could we try organizing a state NASAT tournament for Indiana next year? I know NASAT is hard, and in a completely different league from typical NAQT, but I think for the really good Indiana players we have, it ...

Hey there, From Southwestern by Northeastern, Carmel A won 1st place with a perfect score, and Carmel B made it to quaterfinals. I think it was a pretty solid performance, and I'm excited for our future. Also, I probably should have clarified this earlier, but we have now decided to move our planned...

Thanks for the info, you gave a nice concise explanation on how things work here :wink: Hopefully we get a nice turnout, also the thing you brought up with not buying the same packets used at state is a really good point, because I had never actually thought of that, I could have bungled it all up r...

The interest in Quiz Bowl this year seems great, I think we may have a decent turnout, I was planning to have the tournament sometime after the IASP Regionals but before the actual state finals, though we could also try planning it before Regionals. Can you elaborate on how exactly logistics work an...

How does an online tournament even work? Can someone explain this to me, my team may be interested in joining.

I come from Carmel High School in Carmel, Indiana, and we are a relatively new team that started last year (2018-2019) after we were given enough funding and support to allow us to go to tournaments and events. Since I come from a state where Quiz Bowl isn't as well-known and where tournaments are r...

Hey Drew, I come from Carmel High School in Carmel, Indiana, and I'm interested in hosting a tournament at my school. We revamped our team last year once again after we found the funds and support to sustain a club like us, and I'd like to know whether you have any advice for hosting a tournament. U...
