Two sources for the 2008 Indiana Academic Super Bowl are no longer in print, but are being made available online with permission of the Indiana Historical Society. "Indiana In The War of Rebellion - The Report of the Adjutant General of Indiana" was written by W.H.H. Terrell and published in 1869. The document was reprinted in 1960 by the Indiana Historical Society. Seven chapters are being used as resources for the 2008 Indiana Academic Super Bowl, Senior Division. "The Impact of the Civil War on Indiana" was written by John D. Barnhart for the Indiana Civil War Centennial Commission and published in 1962. Adobe Reader is required to view or print all of these documents. Several documents are fairly large and may take some extra time to open, depending on your computer and internet connection speed.

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, which were formerly sold by the Academic Coaches Association. The Lowell Academic Booster Club has taken on that project, and will sell sets of practice questions (approximately 1,000 for junior level, and 1,200 for senior level) for $25. 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 jgianotti@hotmail.com or call him at (219) 313-5907.

Description of the Senior Division Indiana Academic Super
Bowl
Content
The high school (Senior Division) competition will be made up of five subject
matter rounds (English, science, social studies, mathematics, and fine arts)
and a sixth 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
Senior Division teams will be made up of six squads. Each of the five subject area squads will consist of no more than 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).
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.
