-'''Novice''' is an adjective that may refer to a tournament or the difficulty of the packet set used at the tournament.
+<onlyinclude>
 A '''novice set''' or '''novice-difficulty packet set''' is one that is intended to be significantly easier than a standard, [[regular difficulty|regular-difficulty]] set. At the college level, novice sets traditionally include "easy"-level sets ("1 dot" on [https://collegequizbowlcalendar.com/difficulty-scale/ Ophir's scale]) like [[ACF Fall]] and [[Minnesota Undergraduate Tournament]], though [[Justin French|some members of the community]] contend that these sets are too difficult for true novice players. [[NAQT]] also produces a yearly [[Collegiate Novice]] set that is easier than ACF Fall ("0.5 dots" on Ophir's scale), intended for players who are new to collegiate quizbowl who were not as dominant in their high-school playing career.
 At the high school level, [[SCOP]] Novice sets and NAQT [[IS|IS-A]] sets are the most widely played examples of novice sets (though the latter are not explicitly billed as such). Recently, some middle-school sets like [[RAMS]] and [[ERIS]] have expanded their markets by doubling as high-school novice sets.

In high school, many tournaments require one and disregard the other; tournaments that only use the second restriction are often referred to as '''junior varsity'''.
