Your quiz team’s new season: a real contest every week

Five questions. The same paper and the same clock for every entrant in a division. Proctored with a join code, scored the moment you click Score, podium on the projector before the bell.

No credit card • 30 students • 2 free contests every month

Teacher-verified · MeritBoard-certified FERPA & COPPA-conscious We never train AI on student work

Instead of

  • ✕monthly meets with unscored practice in between
  • ✕writing the packet, running the clock and grading it by hand
  • ✕the same three students winning every mixed-grade room

You can have

  • ✓every practice scored and counted
  • ✓a packet that scores itself
  • ✓grade divisions, so younger players can place

How it works with MeritBoard

  1. 1

    Create a Question contest and pick your divisions

    One division means one form and one podium for the room. Grade divisions mean one form per grade, each with its own podium.

  2. 2

    Students join with a code

    No student accounts. Optional strict PIN. One sitting per student per contest — five minutes on the clock, with a short grace window.

  3. 3

    Click Score and the podium appears

    Responses are scored on the spot. Integrity flags surface to you before anything publishes, with one-click invalidate.

  4. 4

    Verify and project the result

    Confirm & Publish, then put the results page on the board. Certificates and share cards come with it.

Before you start

Does a contest sitting change my students’ MeritScores?

No. Contest sittings never create or move a published ability estimate or MeritScore. A bad Thursday under adrenaline cannot follow a student.

How do I know everyone got a fair paper?

Every entrant in a division sits the identical five verified questions under the identical clock. That is the design, not a setting.

Can students take it unproctored from home?

Not for ranked play. Ranked entry requires your join code and a proctored sitting.

What does it cost to run weekly?

Question contests are the cheapest type to score. The free plan covers two contests a month; Pro is $12/mo for weekly cadence and a bigger roster.
