		+	==History==
		+
		+	PACE was founded in fall 1996 in response to a [[Usenet]] post by [[Samer Ismail]] announcing the "National Association of College-Organized Tournaments" (name was soon changed) with the initial stated goals of providing a national high school tournament that reflected the personnel and format of collegiate quizbowl, raising the number of high school tournaments hosted by college clubs, and improving communication among college-run high school tournaments. There should probably be more said here about PACE's history, especially outside of incident-by-incident recaps of the NSC itself.
