SCHEDULE - THE 2026-2027 MARK QUIZ SEASON

Note that all three divisions are open to any student in grades 6-12.

Traditionally, all league competitions begin promptly at 10:00 am. Please arrive by 9:45 am. We aim to finish the awards ceremony by 4:00 pm. At each League Meet, the winner for the day in each division would be awarded the Traveling Trophy, and the Big Bag of Candy. The League Champion will be awarded based on their performance at League 5, and they will take home the Traveling Trophy permanently.

There will be no playoffs at league meets. Ties will be broken by head-to-head results for 2 teams and by points for ties among 3+ teams.
