HSAPQ (High School Academic Pyramid Questions) is a question writing company started in 2008. It strives to provide high quality pyramidal questions to high school tournaments. For the 2008-09 season, HSAPQ produced four ACF-format sets, one Four-Quarter format set, and two NSC-format sets. For the 2009-10 season, they planned to produce six ACF-format sets and three Four-Quarter sets; however, difficulties in completing their first two sets led them to cut back to three ACF-format sets and two Four-Quarter sets.
Since 2009, HSAPQ has been the question provider for VHSL; their VHSL questions have been lauded by players like Greg Tito for their improved quality.
Legally, HSAPQ is owned by Shawn Pickrell and is a continuation of his Scholastic Bowl Company of Virginia, though in reality, most actual responsibility lies in the hands of several editors.
