NAQT Official Website
This is the large, informative website of National Academic
Quiz Tournaments, LLC (known to us as NAQT) - it has info about all past
NAQT tournaments as well as its plans for this year, including some info
on its Intercollegiate Championship, which we attended.
ACF
Official Website
This is the website of the Academic Competition Federation.
It speaks volumes for itself despite the long time lapse since its last
update.
The
Maize Pages
This page, based at Michigan, purports to be the "portal
for all your academic competition needs." If you need to know something
about the world of academic competition, and can't find it on this page,
you should be able to find it there.
Yahoo!
Quizbowl Club
eGroups
Quizbowl Chat Group
The quizbowl circuit has clubs set up on Yahoo network
and on eGroups. Some of us at GW are members. Check them out, but beware,
the Yahoo chatroom in particular can be a major time suck.
Question
Packet Archive
Questions from years' past that can be used to practice
on. Public humiliation will ensue should you attempt to re-submit questions
from this archive at tournaments.

Coutresy of Cal-Berkeley, this site is just what the

Internet Resources
If you're looking for something, and we don't have a
link to it here but it's out there, this list courtesy of Case Western
is a good place to hunt.

Of Titles Database
As close as you're going to come to a list of things
you need to have at least heard of to succeed at this game, at least for
the categories it happens to cover.
Quiz Bowl Website
Here you will find a lot of generalized resources and
links that are helpful for circuit teams and players, including a chat
board. If you want to learn the history of the quizbowl circuit or circuit
procedures or other general information beyond what you can find on our
site, this UMBC-based site is also a good place to start. (Note : This
site is currently down.)
Quizzer
Game
Designed to simulate actual (all-tossup) quiz circuit
play, this is a way either to test your knowledge or to learn some standard
clues.
Question
Writing Resources
When this page is done, it will contain links that will
help with research for question writing.
Quiz
Bowl Basics
Even more useful information about the game that is not
found elsewhere on this site. Written by George Atendido and now maintained
by the GW Academic Competition Club. This should ideally be frequently
updated now that it is in HTML form, but in fact hasn't been updated in
quite some time.
Tournament
Central
Listings of all college-level tournaments, regardless
of format or location. Very useful for planning a tournament schedule.
alt.college.college-bowl
The home USENET newsgroup of the academic competition
community, but don't expect to find anything of use there. Some of the
garbage you're more likely to find there is partially explained here.
rec.games.trivia
Here you'll find trivia contests, lyrics quizzes, and
puzzles. There are circuit regulars reading and posting to this newsgroup
too.
