Under the direction of coaches, students compete in a four-quarter match focusing on curriculumbased questions correlated to national standards. Players use strategies to keep possession of a question sequence, learn teamwork as they huddle to answer a complex questions, learn to problem solve by preparing and presenting a solution to real world problems, and engage in a fast paced, quick-answer contest. In this academic sport, each NAL league participates in a regular season of play to determine a champion. Each leagues champion plays in an on-line national tournament to determine a national champion.
