CMST

The Collaborative Middle School Tournament (or CMST), is a question set written by volunteers from the Quiz Bowl community. The goal is to produce a set accessible to Middle School students that follows the tenets of Good quizbowl and follows an mACF Tossup-Bonus Format. The first set was produced during the 2009-10 school year and it was repeated in the 2010-11, 2011-2012, and is planning on being repeated for the 2012-2013 school year.
