International Academic Competitions is pleased to announce the inaugural All Asia, Australia, and New Zealand Regional Online Academic Bee and Bowl Competitions! Students and teams from around Asia will be competing online using Zoom and an Online Buzzer System.

Eligibility:
In order to compete in the Academic Bee and Bowl, you must be 19 years or younger at the time of the competition. You must also be enrolled in a primary or secondary school at the time of your regional tournament (or have graduated within the past two months, and not yet have started university studies). Academic Bowl teams will be limited to four players. Teams of three, two, or one player are welcomed to compete.

Divisions:
Varsity: born in August 2004 or earlier
Junior Varsity: born between September 2004 and August 2006
