Kansas State High School Activities Association Scholars Bowl is played in Kansas by high school teams. The state is known as the North Korea of quizbowl due to traveling and competition restrictions it places on teams. Under KSHSAA rules, teams may not compete in events except during a competition season that begins the third week of October and ends in mid-Feburary. Practice must cease at the end of the competition season. Players are limited to eight events a year, exclusive of regional and state tournaments. No team can compete beyond 500 miles of the border,and competition after the school year ends (such as national tournaments) is only possible under an assumed name and with no use of school funds.
In an interesting parallel to packet submission, KSHSAA requires that all Scholars' Bowl coaches to submit questions in order to participate in state sponsored events or pay a penalty. Scholars Bowl invitationals buy questions from several sources, and some tournament sets are house written. A televised competition is sponsored by Washburn University and aired on the Topeka public TV station. This, however, does count against the eight-tournament limit for any player whose team makes the televised rounds.
