Price increase alert: After 10 years without an increase in the base price of game packets, we must increase prices. This increase is necessary to maintain the quality of our product and is due to several factors:
- Supplier price increases
- Inflation affecting operating and staffing costs
- Credit and procurement card processing fees
To stabilize our costs, we have instituted two important changes in game packet and other product pricing:
- We now offer game packets in bundles -- 10, 15, or 20 game packets. These are the most frequently ordered numbers of packets, accounting for 85% of all orders.
- We will now charge shipping and handling on all reprints, promotional merchandise, and equipment orders (game packets ordered without reprints incur no shipping charges).
This chart summarizes the price increases for game packet bundles:

New schools (schools which did not play College Bowl during the prior season) are eligible for a special Starter Kit of 10 games for $500.
To our schools in California, please note that under state law we are now required to collect 8.25% state sales tax on all orders.
We hope that you understand the need for these pricing adjustments and that they will not adversely affect your participation in College Bowl.
Purchasing game packets automatically grants schools a license to
utilize the College Bowl name, format and other materials in conjunction
with its College Bowl program:
