The National Tournament of Academic Excellence (formerly known as the Panasonic Academic Challenge), is a highly academic national high school competition modeled after Florida's statewide tournament. Each team consists of six students (four players and two alternates) and one coach. As many as six teams may compete against each other in one competition. This is not a quick response, trivial pursuit contest. Instead, it is a slower-paced tournament in which players are asked questions from the areas of mathematics, science, language arts, social studies, the fine arts, world languages (French and Spanish) and technology. The questions are written by educators from high schools and colleges throughout the nation.
Due to budgeting issues, there was no tournament held in 2010. Tentative dates for the 2011 tournament will be announced soon!
