Here a summary of how pages seem to currently be named. Please discuss if they are logical and how they could be improved on the talk page.

== Schools ==

* If it's a high school or university, drop any part of the name that indicates it's a school (examples: '''Seven Lakes''', not '''Seven Lakes High School'''; '''Cistercian''', not '''Cistercian Preparatory School'''; '''West Virginia Wesleyan''', not '''West Virginia Wesleyan College'''
* If it's a name that is shared by multiple high schools or by multiple colleges, name the page so that it lists both the school (per the above) and the postal abbreviation for the state the school is in. Example: Thomas Jefferson (VA) and Thomas Jefferson (MO).
* If the name is shared by multiple schools in the same state, list the school name, city, and then state's postal abbreviation. Inaccurate example: Thomas Jefferson (Alexandria, VA)
* If it's a name that is shared by at least one high school and one college, give priority to the college and list the high school as a high school in its name. Example: '''George Mason''' for the University and then '''George Mason High School''' for the high school in the same city in Virginia.

== People ==
* List them by their most common name
* If a name is shared by two different quiz bowlers, list their most notable affiliation in parentheses after their name?

== Tournaments ==
* If a tournament name is shared by two different tournaments, list the hosting school after the tournament name in parentheses.

	In general, I think we should side with not using acronyms if it's a close case. One example would be "HFT" vs. "Harvard Fall Tournament." It would probably be most beneficial to use "Harvard Fall Tournament" as the title, since that's probably easier to understand in general.

		+	== Years of tournaments and teams ==
		+
		+	Please leave links such as "2021 NASAT" or "2017 Yale" intact and make redirects as needed, rather than replacing them with links to "NASAT" or "Yale." This allows for the creation of pages specific to a particular year's tournament/team in the future without disrupting the current structure of the wiki.
