==[https://www.historybowl.com/resources/game-format/ History Bowl Format]==
 +
A History Bowl game consists of 4 quarters. The first quarter features [[tossups]] worth 10 points each. The second quarter features tossups and one-part [[bonuses]], worth 10 points. The third quarter, known as the Lightning Round, gives teams 60 seconds to answer a series of eight increasingly difficult short questions on a particular theme. Questions missed by one team "bounceback" to the other team. Finally, the fourth quarter features powermarked tossups worth 30, 20, or 10 points.

 +
==[https://www.historybowl.com/resources/bee-tournament-format/ History Bee Format]==
 +
During regional competitions and the preliminary rounds of nationals, history bee questions are simply a series of 35-tossups, worth 1 point each. However, students who get eight questions are said to "exit" the round, and gain a number of bonus points based on where they exit (for a total score ranging from 8 to 15).
 +
 +
At the playoff rounds of nationals, the history bee uses the [[6-5-4-3-2-1 scoring system]]. Tossups are powermarked, and based on where a student buzzes they can earn either 6, 5, 4, or 3 points if they are correct. If they are incorrect, they suffer a -2 penalty if they buzzed before the end of the tossup, and a -1 penalty otherwise.
 +
 +
In both local bees and national bees, 3 incorrect interrupts "kill" the question.

The National History Bee and Bowl is an history focused academic competition directed by David Madden. It consists of the National History Bowl, a four-player team event played on pyramidal questions in a four-quarter format, and the National History Bee, an individual elimination-style event. Teams qualify for Nationals by placing above a certain threshold at regional Bowls; all sites also have a Varsity and JV division. In addition to the History Bee and Bowl, NHBB also organizes a number of other quizbowl-adjacent events, including the US History Bee and US Geography Championships. An equivalent held for international schools is called the International History Bee and Bowl.

For the 2010-11 school year, the local events were written by NHBB staff and Nationals were written by HSAPQ; until 2014, HSAPQ wrote for all History Bowl events, before that task fell to teams led by Matt Weiner in 2015 (but see here) and Brad Fischer in 2016 and beyond.

National History Bee and Bowl also incorporates middle and elementary school divisions. In February 2016, the running of the elementary and middle school division was transferred to ACE.

History Bowl Format

A History Bowl game consists of 4 quarters. The first quarter features tossups worth 10 points each. The second quarter features tossups and one-part bonuses, worth 10 points. The third quarter, known as the Lightning Round, gives teams 60 seconds to answer a series of eight increasingly difficult short questions on a particular theme. Questions missed by one team "bounceback" to the other team. Finally, the fourth quarter features powermarked tossups worth 30, 20, or 10 points.

History Bee Format

During regional competitions and the preliminary rounds of nationals, history bee questions are simply a series of 35-tossups, worth 1 point each. However, students who get eight questions are said to "exit" the round, and gain a number of bonus points based on where they exit (for a total score ranging from 8 to 15).

At the playoff rounds of nationals, the history bee uses the 6-5-4-3-2-1 scoring system. Tossups are powermarked, and based on where a student buzzes they can earn either 6, 5, 4, or 3 points if they are correct. If they are incorrect, they suffer a -2 penalty if they buzzed before the end of the tossup, and a -1 penalty otherwise.

In both local bees and national bees, 3 incorrect interrupts "kill" the question.
