Students in Varsity and Junior Varsity divisions compete at Regional tournaments, both in person and online.  Students who finish in the top half of each tournament are invited to compete at the National Championships.

At the high school Regional level, the National Political Science Bee is a 50 question multiple choice exam.  Correct answers are worth 2 points, blanks are worth 0, and incorrect answers are worth -1.  The top half of scores at a tournament will qualify for the National Championships. At Nationals, the National Political Science Bee is a buzzer-based political science quiz competition for individual students, which consists of  preliminary rounds of 35 questions, plus a series of playoff stages to determine the National Champion.  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 science. 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.

The tournament 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 Political Science 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 Political Science Bees - a student from Maine can compete in a Hawaii tournament. However, students may only compete in one exam per question set. That means that students in this event can take a maximum of 3 exams per year, one each on our A, B, and C sets.
