Lancaster-Lebanon League
The Lancaster-Lebanon Quiz Bowl League formed in 1994 based on the existing L-L athletic conference for high schools from Lancaster and Lebanon counties in Pennsylvania. For several years, the league briefly included York County — adding York Suburban and Northeastern — but that ended when the York-Adams Quiz Bowl League was launched for the 2017-18 season. 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
Between October and January, teams of four play 5–6 biweekly matches, each consisting of three head-to-head games against the same opponent, totaling 15–18 regular-season games. These results determine seeding for the league's championship tournament. Game format is [[Tossup/Bonus Format|tossup/bonus] with 20 tossups and 20 bonuses per round. Since 2012, the LL League has exclusively used NAQT questions. Starting in 2024-25, the league consists of Division 1 (more competitive) and Division II (less competitive).
