I'm pleased to announce that the Maryland Academic Quiz Team in collaboration with the University of Indiana will, after a ten year hiatus, be reviving its spring HS set as the Maryland Spring Classic/Hoosier Invitational. The set will be head edited by Caleb Kendrick with assistance from Justin Hawkins, Connor Mayers, Vishwa Shanmugam, and Jakob Myers.
The set will consist of 12 packets of power-marked questions suitable in difficulty for teams preparing for NSC or HSNCT. Tossups and bonuses will be hard-capped at 6 and 7 lines of 10 pt Times New Roman font, respectively. We will use the following distribution:
4/4 History (1/1 American, 1/1 European, 1/1 World, 1/1 Ancient + Other)
4/4 Literature (1/1 American, 1/1 British, 1/1 European, 1/1 World + Other)
4/4 Science (1/1 Biology, 1/1 Chemistry, 1/1 Physics, 1/1 Math + CS + Earth Sci + Astronomy)
3/3 Fine Arts (1/1 Classical Music, 1/1 Painting, 1/1 Other FA)
2/2 Religion + Myth
2/2 Philosophy + Social Science
1/1 Geography/Current Events/Other Academic
The set will be available for mirrors beginning in early 2024. The mirror fee will be $30 per team in attendance. Please contact Connor Mayers at [email protected] if you would like to host a mirror, or have any questions about the set.

Re: 2023 Maryland Spring Classic/Hoosier Invitational
A few updates about this set:
Due to a few factors, primary of those being the high amount of high school tournaments in this difficulty range announced for the spring, we are postponing this set to be played next spring (2024) instead of this one. The set is near completion in terms of writing though, so expect a highly edited and finished product for next spring.
