	The Metro Conference Academic League was the first of the county Academic League's to switch to using pyramidal questions provided by [[National Academic Quiz Tournaments]]. Most students would see this as a very positive thing. Not much is known about exactly how old the League is, but it is believed to be, like the other Academic Leagues, very old, possible extending beyond the 1980s.

 The top six seeds after the round robin advance to the playoffs. The top 2 seeded teams have a bye, while seeds 3-6 have 2 play-in matches. The 2 winners of those matches face the 2 bye teams in semi-final matches. All semi-finalist teams qualify for the [[High School National Championship Tournament]]. The winners of the semi-final matches play a one-game final match.  The winner of that match then will go on to represent the league at the county championships.
-Metro League matches are played in a straight [[tossup-bonus format]] format and are timed (time varies depending on whether it is a Junior Varsity, or Varsity match).  Tossups are worth ten points, and each of three bonus parts are worth ten points as well.  There are no powers, but a [[neg]] rule is in play; teams are deducted five points for an incorrect answer at any point during or after the tossup, but not if the opponent has already been penalized for an incorrect answer.  The team with more points when time expires wins.  If time expires in the middle of a tossup, the tossup will be completed and counted.
