-The '''Mose-Roh-Bose-Lo Limit''' is broken when two players each from two teams from the same school break 40 PPG in a college tournament. It is a "doubled and halved" version of the [[Hoppes-Mikanowski Limit]], with the added challenge that both teams in question have to have played each other. In this way, the Mose-Roh-Bose-Lo Limit measures both skill and depth of a college's Quiz Bowl program.

-The term was coined from [[Columbia]]'s performance at the two-dot [[MRNA]] IV tournament held at [[Johns Hopkins]] on March 1, 2025. Columbia came exceedingly close to breaking the limit with the following four members, sorted by scoring order: [[Moses Kitakule]] (A, 51.82 PPG), [[Cooper Roh]] (A, 48.18 PPG), [[Olin Bose]] (B, 42.22 PPG), and [[Chauncey Lo]] (B, 39.44 PPG). Out of 12 teams and 44 players, all four namesakes came in the top 10 individually as well. It is also worth noting that neither team was playing shorthanded.
-The MBRL Limit, as it is also known, is much easier to break on a high school level because of easier questions and larger tournament fields. Preferably, both teams should be in the same division and have played against the same teams, including each other, as otherwise it would be easier to break with the B team playing against easier opponents in the [[consolation rounds]].
-It is also the first known quadruply-eponymous law in Quiz Bowl history.
