The National Scholastic Championship,[1] or NSC, is a high school national quizbowl tournament run by PACE.
The tournament began in 1998 and was the first high school national to use pyramidal tossups (by the standards of the time) and be largely written and run by people versed in the normal practices of collegiate-level quizbowl. From 1998 to 2009, the event used the Old PACE format, which retained the basic concept of "exclusively pyramidal tossup leading to a bonus" gameplay but added many non-ACF variations designed to incorporate elements of regional high school formats. From 2010 through 2019, matches consisted of 20 tossups and 20 three-part bonuses per round, with 20 point powers but no negs on tossups; each bonus was worth a total of 30 points, with bouncebacks on the bonus parts. Bouncebacks were eliminated to faciliate the NSC hosted online in 2021 [1], and were discontinued at the in-person NSC in 2023 [2].

- ↑ Prior to 2007, it was unclear whether the "S" in "NSC" stood for "Scholastic" or "Scholastics," and both words were used in various PACE materials. Since 2007 the organization seems to have settled on the singular form as the correct name of the tournament.
