Good morning.
We are looking to start a team. We are a large Chrsitian school (over 1,ooo students) in central virginia.
I already went to the national quizbowl website.
Can anyone from Virginia help me out with some of these questions?
Do I have to fill out anything for become a team?
Is there a fee for joining?
How do you go to your first competition?
Do you register with the national group or is there a state group?
How do you know what questions to study?
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: How to start a team
Welcome to the site! You'll find there are a number of people from central and western Virginia on the forums.
To answer your questions:
There's also the history-oriented National History Bee and Bowl, and the HSAPQ all-star tournament.
NAQT also has an excellent guide for starting a new high school team and sample/practice questions available.
To answer your questions:
Can you specify which site you visited? There are two organizations that run premiere national championship tournaments for high schools, PACE and NAQT.ctortizclark wrote:I already went to the national quizbowl website.

Outside of any requirements your school many have in place for becoming a student club or team, there is no sort of organizational registration or joining fees. Many tournaments take place in places that are only a few hours from where you are - you can find them listed in the forums here or using the HSQuizbowl Database.ctortizclark wrote:Do I have to fill out anything for become a team?

Simply contact the person or organization running a tournament you'd like to attend and sign up. You'll have to figure out how your team is paying the registration fee for the tournament - some schools pay for them directly, other clubs fundraise through hosting tournaments of their own or other methods in order to raise money to travel to tournaments.ctortizclark wrote:How do you go to your first competition?
Familiarize yourself with the questions available through quizbowlpackets.com. These are all from tournaments that have been run in the past.ctortizclark wrote:How do you know what questions to study?
