The Northern California Quiz Bowl Alliance and Hillview Middle School are pleased to announce that Hillview will host a middle school quizbowl tournament on Saturday, March 24, 2018.
Location: This tournament will take place at Hillview Middle School, 1100 Elder Avenue, Menlo Park, California.
Questions: We will be using NAQT Middle School Series #26.

The top 15% of teams will qualify for the 2018 NAQT Middle School National Championship Tournament, to be held in Chicago, Illinois on May 12-13, 2018.
Eligibility: All middle schools (public, private, charter, religious, homeschool, etc.) are eligible to play in this event. This tournament is open to any players who have not yet completed 8th grade, though the questions are targeted at 7th and 8th graders.
Schools are encouraged to enter multiple teams, but please note that players must play for the same team throughout the tournament.
