The top teams will receive trophies and cash prizes as follows:

Volunteer support for this tournament:
Many of our volunteers will be AIAA UAH student branch members, AIAA GHS members, and other Huntsville aerospace professionals. However, I'd love to get additional non-members who are seasoned moderators to help out. Please send me an e-mail at [email protected] if you're interested in serving as a moderator or scorekeeper. Computers are provided and all our scorekeeping is done in Google sheets.

Re: Alabama Quiz Bowl 2024-25
Hey everyone! The Auburn University Rocket Team will host a tournament for novice high school teams on Saturday, Oct. 26. They plan to use ASCTE's Sentinel CYBER #1A question set. That means any current high school freshmen who participated in ASCTE's Sentinel Invitational in October 2023 cannot participate, and neither can their current high school teams. Let me know if you're interested and I'll pass your info along to the Auburn TD. An official announcement will be coming soon.
