The editors reserve to the right to, at our discretion, reject packets deemed inappropriate. This can be on the grounds of either question quality or proper balance. The difficulty level is approximately the same as for NAQT Sectionals. In addition, we have our tradition of the "fun question," of which there must be one in every round.
