The '''British Novice''' tournament is an annual novice collegiate-level tournament held in the [[UK]], typically around November. The tournament is characterised by having a lower difficulty than other tournaments in the season, as well as being targeted at a UK audience. The first British Novice tournament was held in 2018, with simultaneous sites at [[Imperial College London]] and the [[University of Glasgow]]. Early instances of the tournament used house-written questions by the UK Quizbowl organisation, but the 2022 tournament switched to using a [[Briticised]] [[NAQT Collegiate Novice]] set.

The British Novice tournament is an annual novice collegiate-level tournament held in the United Kingdom, typically around November. The British Novice tournament is aimed at players with minimal quizbowl experience, and therefore skews slightly less academic compared to most tournaments. British Novice was first held in 2017 at Imperial College London, and in subsequent years was held simultaneously at Imperial and at the University of Glasgow. Questions are typically house-written by the British quizbowl community, although the 2022 tournament experimented with using a Briticised NAQT Collegiate Novice set instead.

In 2022, due to industrial action from train drivers, as well as clashes with term dates, the tournament was held twice on separate dates, with an online site on the 26th of November and an in-person site at Imperial on the 3rd of December. The 2023 edition of the tournament was adapted by IQBT for mirrors in North America held in the spring of 2024 as the IQBT Collegiate Novice tournament.
