So a lot of parents for Middle and Elementary National Championships are asking, how does the block schedule get determined? Good question! So block assignments are made using a couple factors. First, we look at what kids have signed up for which activities. If you sign up for exams offered during one block, you are likely going to be put into the other block of competition. Second, we look at the results and scores of all the kids coming to Nationals and how they performed at regionals. Our Statistics team worked overtime to make sure the matches will be fair and balanced so all kids get equal chance to succeed no matter who they are playing against. Because of this, at this juncture in time, NO REQUESTS FOR BLOCK CHANGES will be granted. Our team has been working overtime to provide as balanced a matchup as possible, and we cannot shuffle kids around. See you all starting Thursday in Orlando! #roadtonationals #historybee #geographybee #sciencebee
So for friends and family friday this week, we wanted to tell you all a story... Quiz bowl is a small world. A lot of the adults who work with IAC on tournaments know each other from places like Jeopardy, other trivia formats like Learned League, etc. Normally, we don't think anything of it, but in this story, it's an even smaller world than that. Marie H-G, who is one of our AMAZING online tournament directors and readers at Nationals, has a very unusual last name for her maiden name. Kiersten, (yours truly), had a great-grandparent who came over from Norway through Ellis Island with the same unusual last name, right down to the spelling, but it was changed by immigration to a more Anglicanized version. The coincidence was just too strange not to warrant investigating, so with some digging by K's genealogy loving cousins in Australia, it turns out that we're cousins! Distant cousins, but enough it can be seen somewhere in the tree. Proof that sometimes the trivia genes run in families, no matter how distantly related they are! #friendsandfamilyfriday #cousins #itsallrelative
Block assignments are live!!!! Please read the email that went out! It is a long email but has a lot of info in that is important! Read before emailing your questions please! -KB
Hello lovely people! In the lead up to the Middle and Elementary School National Championships, two questions keep coming into the email box: "What block am I assigned?" and "How do I get my room assignments?" Registration closed on May 6th with over 2000+ registrations to sort, collate and assign. Our team has been working around the clock to make sure there are no schedule conflicts for kids who signed up for a lot, that students are assigned by their scores at regionals, and ironing out the details and assignments accordingly. As you can imagine, that is A LOT of sorting! After all, these students deserve the chance to play in as much as possible if they signed up, right? It takes a lot of logistics to get this done, but rest assured, you will get your block assignments and room assignments before the tournament begins a week from today! And a special shout out and thank you to that team behind the scenes! You guys are working so hard and we know it is not easy! All assignments will be going out in Pre-Tournament emails in the lead up to the National Championships, so stay tuned! #roadtonationals #historybee #geographybee #sciencebee #historybowl #geographybowl #academicbowl #quizbowl
Hello lovely people! We want to make sure we give all divisions and parts of the world coverage on our social media pages, and we realize that sometimes it appears we cover one group more than others. We want to make sure competitors around the globe get the recognition that they deserve. For our Varsity and Junior Varsity divisions this is especially difficult, as those tournaments are often run by teams rather than IAC staff, and we cannot get the photos we need to let you all shine. This is where you all come in! We want to offer you all the chance to be on our Press Corps year round! How would this work, you ask? Fill out the form at https://forms.gle/8HERJbBhTimPpbZZ7 And in the 2024-2025, you will send in photos from the IAC tournaments you play in to our social media coordinator, no matter how well you do, and earn volunteer hours you can use on your CVs or for school (if your school requires them), and you will get tagged in the posts as a byline, getting credit that looks great on college applications as involvement in extracurriculars! And if you are going to be at International Geography Championships in Vienna, we are still looking for a couple more press corps members from around the world, so go on and fill out the form, too! if you have questions, please email kiersten@iacompetitions.com and I'll do my best to answer them, #quizbowl #historybowl #geographybee #historybee #sciencebee @livi_qb @lsgh.history @bhs.quizbowl @hunterhistorybowl1822 @gnnhistoryclub @iaquizbowl @thehistorybowlers @agquizbowl @lbhistoryclub @kai.schaefer.34 @shshistoryteam @bisvquizbowl

Okay all you wonderful people! This is what it looks like shipping medals and awards from not one, not two, but three online tournaments and the Varsity and Junior Varsity medals that were not picked up at Nationals! Special thanks to Alicia at the Rouses Point post office who worked her way through both huge bins and the two boxes with trophies! She’s got the patience of a saint! #winnerwinnerchickendinner #medals #awards #historybee #geographybee #sciencebee
Student Spotlight on Brent Costello!! This Middle Schooler, who competed at International History Olympiad Rome, recently visited the Jeopardy Set on the Sony lot during his school break. As his mom Tracy put it, "Too bad he wasn't there during David Madden's Invitational Tournament!" Cool photo Brent! Maybe someday you'll be behind that podium on the stage yourself! If you have a student you want to have highlighted on our student spotlights, please email kiersten@iacompetitions.com with a photo and a blurb telling us why your kiddo is awesome! #jeopardy #studentspotlight #historynerd #historybee
A Student Spotlight submission! From mom Sravani "Trishob (4th Grade) is from South Jersey and has been competing with IAC since 2nd Grade. He competed in the Eastern Pennsylvania Regional Finals on January 28th, 2024 and was Champion in Geography Bee, placed 2nd in the History Bee. He also competed in the December 2023 Online Regional Finals for Science Bee and was placed 3rd. He took all 3 Gold, Silver and Bronze :) He loves History and Geography but this year he wanted to take a shot at Science, so going for all 3 at the Nationals and is super excited to be at Orlando. " We'll see you in Orlando, Trishob! Let's hope we see some more medals and awards in your future! #historybee #sciencebee #geographybee #iacompetitions #roadtonationals #orlandobound
