2019 PACE NSC Distribution

[Harpie's Feather Duster]

Below is the template distribution for the PACE NSC 2019 question set, courtesy of head editor Ike Jose.

This distribution lists how many tossups/bonuses will be included from each category out of the 20 tossups and 20 bonuses in regular play per packet. For an example, 4/4 Literature indicates that there will be 4 literature tossups and 4 literature bonuses every packet. Fractions indicate that that category may not be represented equally every round. For an example, .75/.75 World Literature indicates that out of every 4 packets, 3 packets will include 1 world literature tossup, and 3 packets will include 1 world literature bonus.
