National Academic Bee & National Academic Bowl

Bowl teams and Bee players start with several preliminary rounds (see schedule below, as some preliminary rounds take place after lunch).
After prelims, the top Bowl teams will play in a single elimination playoff, while the top Bee players will play a 4th and final round.
The number of teams/individuals playing in playoffs will vary depending on the field size; your Tournament Director will announce this on the day of the tournament.
At some events, certain divisions may be combined, using the Small Field Rules as needed.
There will be plaques for the top Bowl teams and medals for the top 3 Bee players in each division. Additionally, the top Bowl teams and Bee players can also qualify for our Middle & Elementary School National Championships in May!

Middle/Elementary School National Qualifying Exams
During the lunch break, we will offer the following Middle/Elementary School National Qualifying Exams for $20 each. Please note that students can only take up to 5 exams at a given Academic Bee & Bowl event, and will receive 20 minutes to take one exam and 40 minutes total for more than one exam.

These exams only qualify students for the Middle/Elementary School National Championships. There are also Varsity/JV National Qualifying Exams that can qualify students solely for the Varsity/JV National Championships in Geography, Political Science, Science and US History, as well as the 2028 International Geography Championships.

Proposed Schedule
The schedule as listed below is considered tentative and therefore may still be subject to changes due to registrations or other factors. The schedule will be confirmed the week of the tournament when the pretournament email goes out, usually the Wednesday before the tournament. Students and teams looking for further guidance on the schedule should contact the Tournament Coordinator. For further information or if you have any questions, please email help@iacompetitions.com.
