== Blacklist ==
Turnabout tournaments give teams a chance to compete without having to go up against the best teams in the state. The vast majority of Scholastic Bowl teams are invited, but teams that have won large tournaments or repeatedly placed highly in the past year are not invited. These tournaments are a good experience for teams that are new, improving, or just enjoy playing. The tournaments follow the same format as the Novice and Kickoff Tournaments, which means that all teams play in the morning and afternoon.
== Blacklist Restrictions ==
The Blacklist is determined based on the performance of each team in the previous season. Teams who have recently demonstrated themselves to be top competitors are not invited to Turnabouts. The following achievements preclude teams from attending Turnabouts:
* winning an IHSA Sectional tournament in the previous year;
* placing fourth or better at Masonic State in the previous year;
* winning the top division at a tournament with at least twenty teams in the same year or the previous year; or
* placing fourth or better in the top division of three or more tournaments in the same year or the previous year.
The teams on the blacklist will not be invited. Teams may be added to the list if they perform well in November and December. The goal is to allow as many teams as possible to experience the joy of answering questions.
