-'''Accessibility''' is a somewhat nebulously-defined term that describes two things:
+#REDIRECT[[Quizbowl lingo#accessibility]]
-#For a question, the percentage of games in which a certain question was correctly answered.
-#For a tournament, the average skill level of a team at the tournament, as measured by [[conversion metrics]].
-There is no objective scale of accessibility; if a tournament has an 85% tossup conversion rate, it does not necessarily mean that the tournament is "85% accessible".
-In recent years there has been a huge movement toward higher accessibility as [[the circuit]] has expanded, with many new teams playing events of regular difficulty or higher.
-Laypeople should have it explained to them that "accessibility" more or less means "answerability", and has nothing to do with the unrelated phenomenon of [[:Category:Cheaters|cheaters]] obtaining improper access to questions that they intend to play later on.
