Lancaster-Lebanon League
The Lancaster-Lebanon League is a quiz bowl league formed in 1994 based on the existing athletic conference for high schools from Lancaster and Lebanon counties in Pennsylvania. The league briefly included York County — adding York Suburban and Northeastern — but then since the York-Adams Quiz Bowl League was launched in 2017-18 season, the LL Quiz Bowl league has included only schools in Lancaster and Lebanon counties. The winner represents the league and IU13 at the Pennsylvania State Academic Competition. For many years, the league's championship was held at Manheim Township and named in honor of longtime Manheim Township coach Anne Clouser.
Format
Each team plays 6 biweekly matches, head-to-head, of three games each against the same opponent, for a total schedule of 15 to 18 regular season games. The regular season results are used to seed teams for the league's championship tournament. Game format is tossup/bonus in rounds of 20 tossups and 20 bonuses. Since 2012, the LL League has used NAQT questions exclusively.
