Send us questions!
If you hosted a tournament that doesn't appear in this archive, share the wealth! Email the questions, in any reasonable format (.html, .doc, .rtf, etc.) to our webmasters. If you can send the packets as a .zip file that's great, but if not, no problem. Please send only questions which you have the right to distribute.

If you find an error in any question on the archive, email us and we'll try to fix it.

 Use of These Questions
The questions in this archive remain the property of their writers or tournament hosts. Allowed uses of these questions include team practices and personal edification. It is illegal to make money from the use or sale of these questions without the explicit permission of the owners (not necessarily the Stanford Quiz Bowl Club). The Stanford Quiz Bowl Club assumes no responsibility for the contents of this archive. We just post what people send us. We don't proof-read the submissions for legality, accuracy, or anything else. (We do appreciate reports of errors in the questions.)

Notes
Due to packet swaps, there is some overlap among the packets on the archive. Please let us know if you find duplicate packets or questions. (We're concerned about two copies of the same question, not just questions with the same answer). Ideally, we'd document or remove all overlap. Also, when posting a tournament, we've generally posted whatever we've been sent, including, for example, any packets obtained from packet swaps with other tournaments. If we've posted anything we shouldn't have, please let us know ASAP.

Before studying a tournament on this archive, make sure your school does not plan to use it for practice!
It is not fair to play (even in practice!) on questions which you've read before. It just makes others feel inferior.
Stanford students, it's probably safe to study any tournament from the "Everything" section which is *not* listed in the "Additions from 2002 or later" section.

 Everything (as of 2007 Aug. 20) in a .zip file.
