-A '''packet''' is a document containing the questions used in a particular round at a given tournament.  In most [[tossup-bonus format]] tournaments, an edited packet consists of 20 [[tossups]] and 20 [[bonuses]], followed by one or more tiebreaker tossups and one or more extra bonuses. The collection of all the packets for a given tournament is called a [[set]].

-At [[packet-submission]] tournaments, teams are asked to write a packet of questions and send them to the editors, who convert them to their final forms.
-For some reason, quizbowl players in [[Canada]] usually say "packs" rather than "packets;" some Canadians make matters even more confusing for American listeners by using the word "packet" to refer to an entire [[set|question set]]. The word "pack" is filtered and automatically replaced with "packet" on the [[forums]].
