This is very much a Work in Progress.

1. Major Question Providers & National Organizations

PACE - Hosts National Scholastics Championship (NSC)

IQBT - Hosts National All-Star Academic Tournament (NASAT), high school regular season tournament provider

College

ACF - Hosts four major events a year, including ACF Nationals

NAQT - Question provider, hosts Intercollegiate Championship Tournament (ICT)

IQBT - Hosts/produces Undergraduate Championship (the Undergrad)

2. Question Archives

High School

Quiz Bowl Packets - The primary archive of questions.

College

Collegiate Quiz Bowl Packets - A subdomain of the above that jumps straight to questions from collegiate tournaments.

X. Basic Glossary of Quiz Bowl Terminology

Hey everyone.

This is old and badly needs updated, not to mention completion. Please post your favorite resources in this thread and I will add them in the first post as soon as I can.

hsapq.com/samples as a free question archive for HSAPQ questions

quinterest.org - searchable database of quizbowl questions

Please add NHBB's high school sites to this - www.historybowl.com and www.hs.historybee.com. If you could add www.geographyolympiad.com to this as well, even better.

These forums: http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/
Database: http://hsquizbowl.org/db/
QBWiki: http://www.qbwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page
State Organizations: http://www.naqt.com/hs/state-organizations.html
SQBS: http://ai.stanford.edu/~csewell/sqbs/
Quizbowl DB: http://www.quizbowldb.com/
Protobowl: http://protobowl.com/
ACE: http://acequizbowlcamp.com/
ACE Study Guides: http://acequizbowlcamp.com/improve/study-guides/
You Gotta Know: http://www.naqt.com/YouGottaKnow/

Quinterest.org would probably be the most important new development. (QuizbowlDB is pretty lackluster in comparison.)

http://www.protobowl.com

Even if there are concerns about the maturity of lobby and the benefits of memorizing clues, it is an excellent way to practice against other people or just play a lot of questions.

http://www.pace-nsc.org/quizbowl-101/

There's a glossary there, along with a concise rules doc, tips for writing, etc.

adding "site:quizbowlpackets.com" to a google search query works as a packet search for whatever quinterest or qbdb lacks

http://www.ai.stanford.edu/~csewell/culture
http://quizlet.com/subject/quizbowl/
http://www.qbwiki.com/wiki/Electronic_r ... r_quizbowl

The new Quizbug option on Quinterest is a nice hybrid between Protobowl/Quinterest.

Neg 5 offers live tournament results. It worked very well at Charter Challenge last Saturday.

Will 100% vouch for the Culture Page Index.

Is there something wrong with the link for the culture index? It won't load on mobile at all.

With regards to index, it is useful though outdated and kind of hard to navigate through since a lot of tge information is jumbled together in huge blocks of text. I would recommend it's use for those trying to gather a list of what to learn about in a certain category, but would use the index as a supplement rather than a core.

Thank you!

Does anyone have the downloaded versions of the ACE Study Guides

User was reminded to enable a signature.

I assume you are talking about the "You Gotta Know" guides, not the frequency or Power Up materials they produce, as those are a commercial product. If that's the case, you can go directly to NAQT's web site and use your right click to download the pages in question.

There were ACE Camp Study guides posted on their old website, but I believe the link for them went dead three to four years ago. I actually have one downloaded on a flashdrive from high school. It was from a religion class taught by Mike Sorice, iirc., (circa 2009 roughly).

I compiled a Google Drive folder with most of the ACE Study Guides here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WSFzq ... Sn_W9fHRM

It has everything except Organic Functional Groups, British Prime Ministers, and Jewish Holidays I believe.

That site's dead. https://www.qbreader.org/db seems to be the primary replacement of it.

Whenever I need to search questions, I either site search the packet archive or go to https://aseemsdb.me/
