Online Skype Practice League

The Online Skype Practice League, or OSPL, was run by National History Bee and Bowl on weekday evenings as a chance for high school students to get additional practice or play matches against other kids from across the country. Throughout its run, it was criticized for many reasons, including the frequent presence of superteams/incredibly strong combinations of players, the use of cleared question sets that players could have heard already (or even find mid-round to cheat), the treatment of victory online as an accomplishment akin to tournament victories, and the use of inappropriately difficult sets such as FICHTE 2 when high school sets weren't available.

Evidence implies that the Online Skype Practice League was quietly discontinued midway through the 2012-13 school year, its second year of existence.
