A high school tournament hosted annually in late spring from 1981 to 2000 by Lebanon Valley College of Annville, Pennsylvania.
Written and staffed by the college faculty, the tournament featured 20-minute timed rounds of tossup-bonus format (at some point; before it may have been 500 questions worth different points values based on difficulty that eliminated teams after each round). The semifinals were lengthened to 25 minutes at some point, and the finals to 30. Both featured additional audio tossups, primarily foreign languages.
The tournament's demise has been attributed to the inability to find sufficient volunteer staff. At its height, 72 teams from across Pennsylvania competed.
