The '''shadow zone'''s are regions in answer space that fall between the desired conversion targets for a set's [[bonus]] parts. At any given difficulty, there are two shadow zones: the easy-middle shadow zone and the middle-hard shadow zone. For example: if a set is aiming for 90% conversion on easy parts, 50% conversion on middle parts, and 10% conversion on hard parts, a bonus part likely to get 70% conversion is in the easy-middle shadow zone, and a bonus part likely to get 30% conversion is in the middle-hard shadow zone.

The need to avoid topics in the shadow zones can occasionally lead some topics to be underrepresented at a given difficulty level.

Not to be confused with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_zone| shadow zone] from seismology, the [[Forbidden Zone]] from the [[Quizbowl Resource Center]], or the [https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Shadow_Realm| Shadow Realm] from ''Yu-Gi-Oh!''.
