Hello everyone, the GAQBC team and a few select writers from other states would like to announce PEACHES (Pretty Excellent Academic Competitions Honing Emerging Scholars) which is a novice difficulty set targeting middle schoolers and newer high schoolers. I am heading this set. The set is over 70% done. There will be 11 packets of 20/20 with 1 tiebreaker packet, also 20/20. This set is around MAKEMAKE difficulty. It will be ready by October 1st, unless there are issues with set quality that need to be addressed.

Other information
We came up with this acronym one day when deciding how to make the set name more interesting.
This set is written in 10 point Lora font.
Toss-ups are 350-475 characters long and bonus lead-ins are capped at 2 lines.
This set was originally written by primarily new, inexperienced Georgia kids but the kindness of our editors allowed us to have a quality, playable set.
