• ACF-style Score Sheet
  • A good score sheet to use if you’re intending on using the 10 points per question format, while it keeps the option of tracking of individual stats open if such is desired. Unfortunately, it’s set up for only 20 toss-ups per game. Link currently dead.
     
• NAQT-style Score Sheet

National Tournament Information:

• American Scholastic Competition Network (ASCN)'s Tournament of Champions.
  • Who Qualifies?: Anyone who wins a tournament with more than eight teams. Also, according to their website, "Because of special circumstances in some regions, consideration will be given to teams who may not have won an entire tournament. The ASCN Board will review these applications on a case-by-case basis."
    It should be noted that ASCN's 2006 tournament was cancelled with little given notice. It is unknown if this organization plans on resuming tournaments, why it cancelled the 2006 event or even if it still exists. Caution would be advised when considering attending this event.
