2007 ACE Camp Questions NEW!
Twelve packets of questions used at this year's ACE Quizbowl Camp sessions
in Missouri, South Carolina, and Maryland. Package features eight pyramidal
packets of twenty tossups (with powers) and bonuses, as well as four "hybrid"
style speed/pyramidal packets. Hybrid packets feature twenty speed-geared
tossups and ten slightly shorter pyramidal tossups with thirty-point bonuses.
Price: $25 ($15 for teams with players that attended a 2007 ACE
camp session).
One-year Subscription
A one-year subscription provides your team with four packets
consisting of twenty pyramidal tossups (with powermarks) and twenty
thirty-point bonuses per month, for ten months (August-May). Questions
are intended to encourage player development, using harder clues
challenging to experienced players but answer selections accessible to
younger players as well. Difficulty is meant to resemble the standard
high school pyramidal tournament, and will increase in small increments
throughout the year, mirroring your team's development. Tossups have
included powermarks, and bonuses are written to function in a
bonus-bounceback format, so as to meet individual team needs. Note that
if your team signs up during the year, you will receive all previous
packets for that year as well. Includes one complimentary study
guide.
Price: $125 for one year of questions.
Trial Subscription
If your team would like additional time to evaluate our questions
and their usefulness to your program, please feel free to take advantage
of our three-month trial offer. This offer provides your team with
three shipments for a total of twelve packets, and may be extended for
the remaining seven months at any time.
Price: 3-month trial subscription: $35
7-month extension: $100
Study Guide Subscription
DACQ is happy to offer your team quizbowl study guides to supplement
our practice material. Study guides will be mailed with questions –
once a month, for a total of ten. Each study guide is discipline
specific (ex: history, literature, music, etc.), and will offer basic
list-based information (title-author, battle-victor), as well as the
more in-depth information that pyramidal formats require. Each study
guide will also include tips from past top high school players for
studying and writing questions within certain disciplines.
Price: $25 for ten study guides
Nationals Prep Package
DACQ mailings do not run in June. However, we offer a rigorous
“nationals prep package” for teams considering competing at a nationals
tournament, or interested in obtaining questions meant to prepare for a
similar event. This package consists of five packets (mailed once,
in may, along with the normal may packets) of elevated difficulty, meant
to mirror what teams will encounter in national competition. Answer
selection will also cover a greater breadth, exposing teams to
topics that do not come up in the high school canon until national
tournaments. Along with these packets is included a multi-subject study
guide focusing on more challenging topics, along with tips and tricks
for nationals (ranging from good lunch tips to high-pressure game advice)
from a wide range of the high school game's most noted alums.
Price: $50
Dynasty Package
DACQ is pleased to offer teams who demonstrate a confidence in our abilities and a dedication to a year of success and high-level competition a discount. Purchasing the one-year subscription, study guide subscription, and nationals prep package together (a $200 value) is being offered at only $175.
Future Dynasty Discount
If your team is entering (as of the 2007-08 season) its first, second, or third year of competition (or first, second, or third year of participating in pyramidal tournaments), we are happy to offer a $25 discount off your total order.
Referrals
DACQ hopes to build a good reputation among its initial costumers and spread through their endorsements. For every new school your program recommends to us with whom we reach an agreement involving the one-year subscription, your school will receive a $15 discount off your order.
