Our NSC-format sets consist of fifteen packets.

The license fee for hosting a tournament on an HSAPQ set in one of the above formats is $16 per team in attendance. We offer discounts for tournaments in regions that are new to high school quizbowl. The price for tournaments in established regions is not negotiable.
We are open to doing most minor modifications, such as changing the stated value of tossups, reformatting 30-point bonuses as 20-point bonuses, or changing the number of questions in a game, for no additional cost.
Contact Shawn Pickrell to place an order in any of the off-the-shelf formats.
Major custom orders such as entirely different game formats, or anything that requires questions to be written specifically for one tournament, should be commissioned on a case-by-case basis. Prices will be discussed as part of the process. Contact Shawn Pickrell to discuss custom orders.
Practice questions
HSAPQ does not sell practice questions; instead, we post each of our sets for free once it has been used at a tournament for the last time. Please see our questions page at http://hsapq.com/sample.html to acquire all of our released sets.
