This set is still available for mirrors this competition year. We'd love to have you use them.

Chuck Pearson, who just used this set for a tournament in December, was kind enough to pass along this feedback:

"IQBT Regular Season sets are exactly what we need at this stage of the season in SWATA. For most of our teams, the December event is their first chance to test their game against more difficult questions, and several of the SWATA teams are getting ready for VHSL Regionals and Superregionals where the level of the question goes up to regs standard. The consistency of the set writing gets us what we need to raise our competitive level."
