SAGES (Spring Academic Game for Elementary Students) is a question set for elementary and early middle school tournaments, targeted at a 3rd through 6th grade level.
Born out of a writing effort for the 2015 Elementary Knowledge Bowl hosted by the Show-Me Conference in Missouri, SAGES originally consisted of ~450 pyramidal tossups with no bonuses. (The Knowledge Bowl site featured the questions in 9, twenty-tossup packets per grade level with some overlap between grades.) Each tossup question is roughly 3 lines long. During the spring of 2015, the questions were reformatted into a standard tossup-bonus format, with 10 packets of 20/20 and an extra 1/1 per packet for tiebreakers and replacements.

- Head editor: Alex Dzurick
