 ==Format==
 In the United States Academic Bowl, matches are divided into two halves, separated by a [[category round]].  Each half is seven tossups with 3 part bonuses. Each bonus part is worth 10 points. The bonuses have the same subject as the tossup. The bonuses are [[bounceback]]. The questions are [[power|powermarked]]. In the US Academic Bowl, powers are worth 20 points. There are no [[negs]] in US Academic Bowl. For the category round, the trailing team chooses one of four categories first. Category rounds include six one-line questions, which bounce back if missed by the answering team. A team gets 20 more points for a sweep. After the trailing team has answered and the bounceback has been completed, the remaining team chooses from one of the three remaining categories.
