Invitational Competition Information
Many schools choose to enter Invitational competitions, which are organized locally, but use questions provided by IASP.  A list of Invitationals Hosts who have contacted the IASP office is available by clicking here. You will see many of the competitions are “Open” (accepting entries). If you would like to host an invitational and have not yet ordered questions, click here to go to the Forms page to find the order form.

Help Recruiting Your Team
To help coaches save some time as you search out students for your team, IASP is making some printable flyers available. You can print, fill in your information, copy, and post them around your building! Each is designed to fit on 8.5″ x 11″ paper.

(the official Team Registration Form will be given to coaches at the Area Competition, and will include the information submitted though the online roster submission form posted on this page according to the competition timeline)

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 1,500 senior level for $40 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 .

2014 Junior Competition Round Order is:
1. English

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.
