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 beyond 500 miles of the border, which generally excludes participation at national tournaments. However, Chicago happens to be just within 500 miles of Kansas, and one or two teams have occasionally attended HSNCTs held there.

In an interesting parallel to packet submission, KSHSAA requires that all Scholar's Bowl coaches to submit questions in order to participate in Scholar's Bowl or pay a penalty. Scholars Bowl also uses some Avery Enterprises questions.
