Alabama Scholastic Competition Association
The Alabama Scholastic Competition Association is the organization that organizes quizbowl in Alabama. They organize both middle and high school events. They host the ASCA High School State Championship and the ASCA Middle School State Championship. There is also an ASCA Small High School State Championship and an ASCA Junior Varsity State Championship, held concurrently with the middle school championship. Sine 2016, Kate Wilson has been the president of the association. ASCA sent teams to the PAC until that tournament's end in 2009. In 2011 and 2012 they switched to NAQT set questions. At the middle school level, ASCA hosts district tournaments, usually in late January. Top teams from the district tournaments then compete at the Middle School State Tournament. Top teams from both events can qualify for the MSNCT. The system is similar at high school level except that high school teams compete in district tournaments, which determine eligibility for high school regional tournaments. Performance at regional tournaments determines pool placement at the state championship.
