Questions Unlimited was a company operated by Chip Beall out of Chattanooga, Tennessee (formerly out of Sandy, Utah, Columbia, Missouri, and Columbus, Ohio), that billed itself as "America's premier supplier of questions and answers for academic competition" and claimed to have copyrighted the four-quarter format. This should not be confused with the British company Questions Unlimited, which produces questions and answers for pub quizzes.
Questions produced by Questions Unlimited were generally viewed with disdain by people who enjoy "good quizbowl", as they lacked pyramidality, had hoses, often had been plagiarized from other sets, and asked about completely ridiculous subjects.
The company sponsored the dubious National Academic Championship as well as Quiznet. Their last venture was an online competition similar to the old KMO called 3-2-1. They also provided questions to local tournaments, such as in Westchester County, New York and for a house-run tournament called the "Great Lakes Academic Challenge".
In July 2024, Questions Unlimited was purchased by the Long Island Quiz Bowl Alliance. The National Academic Association, which was used as the operating entity for the NAC, was also purchased by the LIQBA in April 2025.
