Avery Enterprises heartily congratulates subscription-service member Detroit’s Country Day School for their successful season in 2009-10! Coached by Eugene Jurkiewicz and Brad McNellen, the team went to the NAQT National Championship at the end of May, where they finished in a tie for 7th to 11th out of 200 teams.
If your team can use hundreds of extra questions to prepare them for the rigors of serious academic competition, join the 2010-11 subscription service in the fall. Pick up our other available sets while you’re at it, and talk to us about writing your league questions!
For 2010-11, free sample academic competition questions are available in the official state-sanctioned formats of:
A sample varsity game is also available in the 4-quarter “Questions Unlimited” format used in Indiana, Louisiana, New York and Texas
There’s even a partial oral roundavailable from the written/oral “Knowledge Bowl” format used in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota and Washington (both middle school and high school)!
If your state/level is not listed above, you can get our generic sample set of questions for that level upon request.
If you need free samples, e-mail and we’ll get them right out to you. The “free questions” website page is one of the top drivers to our website; there are more hits off the word “free” (when combined with “quizbowl”, etc.) than anything else. Jus putting questions up for free download has one drawback– we don’t know who downloads them. To keep providing as many free samples in different formats as we do, we need to expand our marketing, and adding your e-mail address to our database when you request a sample set is a painless way to do it. Your address isn’t given out; we simply use it for e-mailings each year regarding our products, and you can drop out any time.
Bookmark this site and come back when you start school in August/September to see what’s new!
Sometimes, we get calls from people saying, “I forgot to order questions for our event–and we start playing in 30 minutes. Can you help?” Absolutely! Putting together a round for, say, this afternoon or tomorrow and e-mailing it to you is no problem. Though rush jobs like this do cost extra, you can literally pull rounds out of the printer and start playing right away!
We have picked up a quiz league from Indiana who had been putting their own tournament sets together by hand each year from a set of questions provided by one of America’s largest suppliers. Once the league’s coaches saw better material in their own 4-quarter format (and that it comes to them already formatted in games), they had no qualms about switching to us. If your league’s still putting together games by hand, drop us an e-mail and let us save you from that chore!
