QUESTIONS UNLIMITED IS UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP
NATIONAL ACADEMIC ASSOCIATION CONTINUES UNCHANGED

— Charles Beall
Greetings from Long Island, New York to every Quizbowler, Tournament Director, and Coach! It is my honor and pleasure to announce that, as Chip said, the Long Island Quiz Bowl Alliance has acquired Questions Unlimited. I would like to take this time to assure you that set production for each and every one of you will continue as if nothing has changed. Chip will no longer be writing questions for sale, but he’ll be teaching me the ins and outs of every one of your leagues, tournaments, and shows, and he will continue to run the storied National Academic Championship (which I enjoyed for 4 years when I was in high school, back in the mid 2010s!).
I would also like to announce that we are rolling over last year’s prices for this upcoming season! There will be no extra charges.
We will still be offering all types of sets– tossup, bonus, lightning, and the signature 4-quarter sets. We also have plenty of other offerings in any combination you’d like, formatted and packetized how you’d like, the details of which you can see on liqba.com.
I very much look forward to working with all of you this upcoming season and well into the future.
Please get in touch with me to confirm your requirements, payment details, and contact information for this upcoming season as soon as you can. We’d love to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Joe Feldman
President, Long Island Quiz Bowl Alliance

The videos above demonstrate the online buzzerless format. We modified our classic format for the 2020 National Academic Championship so that everyone would be able to compete from the safety of their own homes. Little did we anticipate the several ways in which this format is superior to traditional in-person buzzer quiz bowl formats. Have a look and decide for yourself..
