ORQEs Costs
The Online Geography and History Bee Qualifying Exams (that students in 8th grade and under must take to qualify for Regionals) are free of charge. A school can enter as many students as they want for the ORQEs, and many schools choose to enter all their students and administer the exams during class time.

The cost of the Regional Championships is $30 per student in the History Bee, $30 per student in the Geography Bee and $125 per team in the History Bowl. There is an extra 30 USD charge if payment is made by wire transfer (all wire transfers must be denominated in US dollars); cash payments and checks are accepted at the standard rate.
A discount of $10 is provided if your school brings a functional buzzer system (this is by no means required though you may order one to practice with from www.andersonbuzzersystems.com – make sure to get the 10 person Officiator Tabletop model).
Note 1: Students and schools paying by wire transfer must include an additional payment of 30 USD as stated to cover processing fees. All wire transfers must be paid in US Dollars, namely, the amount we receive must be the amount owed in US dollars, plus the transfer fee. If your bank charges additional fees, these must be taken into account in addition to this. One wire fee covers all the teams and students per wire.
Teams paying by cash on the tournament day may of course pay in Canadian Dollars, or in US Dollars if they prefer.
Note 2: Please note that History Bowl teams of 2 students cost 3/4 of the price listed here, and “teams” of 1 student cost 1/2 of the prices listed here. Such teams must be registered as such; the discount otherwise does not apply. Schools interested in requesting such discounted entry fees must email jay@iacompetitions.com to request the discount.
