Academic Super Bowl Junior Division "Top 10"
For the first time, in 2009, special recognition is being given to the Top 10 teams in each enrollment class, based on the cumulative scores of all five rounds at the Area Competition. A certificate award will be mailed to each school. Click here to see the Junior Division "Top 10" teams.

Purchasing Practice Questions
IASP will continue to publish practice questions on this web site, which are free, and written by the same question writers as the competition questions. However, many coaches have requested information on how to purchase additional practice questions. The Lowell Academic Booster Club has taken on this project, and will sell sets of practice questions (approximately 1,000 junior level, and 1,200 senior level for $35 per set). The sets will include questions from each subject except for math. While these questions are not created by the same writers as the competition questions, we believe many coaches may be interested in using these as a tool for their team. For inquiries you should contact Joe Gianotti at jgianotti10@gmail.com .

Description of the Junior Division Indiana Academic Super Bowl

Content

The middle/junior high school (Junior Division) competition will be made up of four subject matter rounds (English, science, social studies, and mathematics) and a fifth interdisciplinary round in which questions may come from any and all of the subject matter rounds. Some interdisciplinary questions will require knowledge of at least two subject areas.

Team Selection

Junior division teams may include up to five squads. Each of the four subject area squads may have a maximum of five students. The interdisciplinary squad may consist of seven students. Any given student may compete on a maximum of two subject area squads and may also compete on the interdisciplinary squad (three squads total). Each subject area squad may consist of one or more grade levels.

Eligibility

Any student enrolled full-time in grades 9-12 is eligible to compete on a high school team. Any full-time student in grades 7 and 8 is eligible to compete on a junior division team. Sixth grade students may participate if they are housed in the same building with the 7th and 8th graders as a middle school. Ninth graders housed in a middle school must either compete with the team from the high school which they will attend or they may compose a team of their own and compete in the high school division. Within these constraints, schools may select their teams in any manner and with any additional criteria they choose.
