Junior Division Indiana Academic Super Bowl
NEW! Future Competition Study Guides
The 2011 Indiana Academic Super Bowl theme will be "Latin America". Each competition subject will develop a separate focus, and will more closely define the geographic areas and time periods that will be studied. Study Guides were developed in June and November 2009. August 25 Update: Current drafts of 2011 Study Guides have not been posted as we work to confirm availability of source materials which may affect those outlines. We hope to have solutions soon, and will post all outlines as soon as we feel they are accurate.

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 1,200 senior level for $35 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 .

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.
