Regionals Event Registration
- The National Science, History, & Geography Bee Regionals (formerly Middle and Elementary School Regional Finals) are now open to ALL grade levels with added Varsity and JV divisions.
- National History Bee & Bowl Regionals (formerly Varsity and Junior Varsity Regionals) have team (Bowl) and individual (Bee) competitions and are also open to all grade levels, though 8th grade-and-under teams typically play in the JV Division unless there are at least four Middle and/or Elementary teams to create a separate division.


2024-2025 National Science, History, & Geography Bee Regional Tournaments
New for the 2024-25 school year, regionals are open to students in all grade levels (K-12). Students in grades K-8 must qualify via the Online Regional Qualifying Exam while students in grades 9-12 can register directly. Students may compete at any site (including sites outside their state) as long as they are qualified (if applicable) and have not already played that tournament’s designated set of questions.
Note: Students may only play each subject ONCE per question set (Red, White and Blue), meaning each student can play a maximum of three Science, History, and Geography Bee Regionals for each subject. However, students may also compete in National History Bee at National History Bee and Bowl Regionals on each of those three sets (C, B and A) for a total of up to six History Bee regionals per school year. The Red, White, and Blue sets have a comparable level of difficulty.
