As a high school player myself, all I know is that NAQT is much cheaper, since its $175 for the whole team as compared
to up to $325 per person, and has twice the amount of matches. And, see, if I wanted to go on vacation, I'd go on a
vacation and not to a quiz bowl tounrament that would waste the valuable limited resources that we have.
