Talk:Bounceback

GATA being the only regular tournaments using bouncebacks

To the best of my knowledge, the IHSA state series, IHSSBCA Kickoff, IHSSBCA Turnabouts, and probably IHSSBCA Novice all use bouncebacks with standard three-part bonuses, as do most or all regular-season conferences/leagues in Illinois at the high school level. —Jonah (talk) 20:44, 22 September 2023 (CDT)

Ah, I thought Illinois still used its unique bonus format. Will revise/delete. Matt Weiner (talk) 21:59, 22 September 2023 (CDT)

The IESA (middle school level) still uses the "read all at once" format, and may allow numbers of parts other than 3 (I'm not sure), but the IHSA (and as a result IHSSBCA and local leagues/conferences, but I think relatively few invitationals) moved to three parts, read and answered one at a time, maybe about a decade ago. —Jonah (talk) 12:17, 23 September 2023 (CDT)

Can confirm that IESA is still using what used to be called the IHSA bonus format. All IESA bonuses are four parts. IHSA made the change in 2013--the decision was made in 2012 to change the format for the 2013 tournament. There are bouncebacks at the statewide Illinois high school tournaments except NAQT State, and a lot of tournaments do not have bouncebacks. David Reinstein (talk) 21:12, 23 September 2023 (CDT)
