National Scholastic Championship

The National Scholastics Championship, or NSC, is a high school national quizbowl tournament run by PACE. Since 2010, matches have consisted of 20 tossups and 20 bonuses per round, with 20 point powers but no negs on tossups; each bonus is worth 30 points, with bouncebacks on the bonuses.
