The Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence (PACE) is a non-profit that promotes high school quizbowl.
PACE runs the National Scholastic Championship (NSC), a national high school quizbowl tournament.
The 2023 NSC will take place at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont, Illinois on June 10-11, 2023. Registration is now open to all qualified teams. Teams that have not yet qualified can submit a wildcard bid to wildcard@pace-nsc.org with a link to the team’s performances this year and a brief justification.
The 2022 NSC was held at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont, Illinois on June 11-12, 2022. Congratulations to the winner of the tournament, Lambert High School from Suwanee, GA.
In fall 2020, as schools were going virtual, we developed an online tournament guide for players, coaches, and tournament directors. We also present the David Riley Quizbowl Conference annually, records of which are available online.
PACE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Your donations help us fund the NSC, college scholarships, outreach, the HSQuizbowl forums, and many other projects.
