  1. Can we please have more questions. 10 is not enough, can we please have 15 questions instead. Have better questions please, and thank you.

  2. We only do 10 per week as that has been our standard since 2009. Feel free to check out the archives that go back that far if you want more. Our friends at Extemper’s Bible also have 5 questions per week and the NSDA releases monthly questions as well.

  3. Few more questions, is there Junior Nationals? Do I need to win state to go? What do I do if i win Kentucky Junior State for Extempt? Do i qualify for Tournament of Champions or Nationals?

    Thank you,
    Bubba

  4. The NSDA does a junior national tournament. As far as we know, there is no qualification process for that. There is a middle school TOC hosted by the University of KY that you can look into.
