The National Scholastic Championship,[1] or NSC, is a high school national quizbowl tournament run by PACE.

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 will be discontinued at the in-person NSC in 2023 [2].

Notes

  • Third and fourth place were not distinguished before 2009; for 1998 to 2008, both teams listed should be considered semifinalists of equal standing and are listed in the table above by purely alphabetical order.
  • The 2010 second place spot was originally awarded to Southside until Amit Bilgi was found to have cheated. Southside's wins were all forfeited, and all lower finishers were subsequently moved up one spot.
