At the Regional and National levels, The National History Bee is a buzzer-based history quiz competition for individual students. Students compete against other students in a series of rounds where they attempt to be the first to ring in and answer paragraph-length questions about various topics in history. Each correct answer results in one point. If they reach 8 points, they are then finished for the round, but they earn up to 7 bonus points based on how quickly they reached 8 points. At Regional tournaments, there are 3 preliminary rounds, which equates to 90 total questions, plus a final round for the top students to determine the champion. Students who finish in the top half of the preliminary round totals qualify for the National Championships, which consists of 6 preliminary rounds of 35 questions, plus a series of 3 playoff stages to determine the National Champion.

This is a trivia style question and answer competition. Students are scored based on the number of correct questions answered. See competition website for complete details.

Eligibility:
In order to compete in the History Bee, you must be 19 years or younger at the time of your State or Regional Bee. You must also be enrolled in primary or secondary education (or have graduated within the past five months, and not yet have started university studies). Students in dual enrollment with a university who have not yet completed their high school diploma are also eligible. Individual homeschooled students and homeschool associations may also compete.  There are no geographic limitations to participating in state or regional History Bees - a student from Maine can compete in a Hawaii tournament. However, students may only compete in one tournament per question set. That means for high school students, they can attend a maximum of 3 regional or state tournaments per year, one each on our A, B, and C sets.  For elementary and middle school students, they can attend only one Regional Finals tournament.
