Important JLAB Notes

  • All JROTC programs may register a team for Level I of the Leadership and Academic Bowl - two different tests administered during the same window of dates.  For more information on the Leadership Bowl, click on the link for the Leadership at www.cofcontests.com .
  • All JROTC programs are encouraged to form two teams - a Leadership Team and Academic Team.
  • Cadets may only participate on one team - either the Leadership Team or the Academic Team - NO crossover between teams.
  • Teams with scores in the top 50% in Level I will advance to Level II.
  • Twenty four Army Academic Teams will advance to the Academic Championship (JLAB), which is held in Washington, DC.
  • If a school is prone to winter storms and school closings, do NOT wait until the last day to participate.  Deadline extensions will be granted on a limited basis.
  • All teams advancing to The Championship (JLAB) will be asked to participate in a peer-to-peer tutoring project covering topics on the SAT/ACT (three to five hours of prep work).

Academic Team Requirements and Team Composition

  • Academic Team = four primary members and two alternates (cadets on the Academic Team may NOT participate on the Leadership Team)
  • Cadets may be juniors (11th grade) or sophomores (10th grade).
  • NO seniors (12th grade)  or freshman (9th grade) can participate.
Each JROTC unit will be allowed on Academic Team consisting of four cadets - they may be sophomores and/or juniors.  Seniors and freshmen cannot participate on the team.  Academic Team members may NOT participate on the Leadership Team.  Two alternates may be named and may participate in the online testing in case a team member must drop out before the end of the competition; however, alternates are not required.  If your team is eligible to participate in the finial competition in Washington, DC, only four team members may attend JLAB.

Level I and Level II Competitions

One of the main goals of JROTC Academic Bowl is to prepare students for state exit/graduation exams as well as college entrance exams, such as the SAT and ACT.  However, many JROTC instructors are understandably interested in measuring how well their cadets are learning the JROTC curriculum.  Therefore, we will have a mix of JROTC curriculum as well as English, Math and Science questions in the event level of the competition.  A few questions about current events are also included - focusing on national and international news, particularly international relations, politics, business and science.  All of the current events questions will be taken from major media available on television, the internet and in daily newspapers.

Level I

"The Challenge" will included 25% JROTC questions, 65% SAT/ACT type questions and 10% current event questions.

Level II

"Zero Hour Threat" will include 15% JROTC questions, 75% SAT/ACT type questions and 10% current event questions.

The Army Academic Championship (JLAB)

The twenty four team advancing to the Academic Championship in Washington, DC, will be notified by email as soon as results of Level II are verified.  At the championship, teams will compete in a minimum of ten rounds of competition using buzzers in a "college bowl" game.  Teams will have one day to sightsee in Washington, DC.
Teams will be allowed to bring four cadets and one instructor.  Additional male and female chaperones will be on staff at JLAB; however, a chaperone from the high school may also attend if required by the school administration.  If teams make more than one substitution to the roster recorded at the beginning of the online competition series, the instructor must provide a written explanation for the changes. 
Travel costs, gas prices, additional airline fees and most importantly, cuts in educational funding, require that we are all as frugal as possible in our travel arrangements.  All travel costs directly related to the event will be covered, but we will endeavor to minimize travel costs where possible and we hope the instructors will assist in this area.
Each team will receive a travel allowance to cover transportation expenses such as:
1. airfare or mileage (if driving)
2. ground transportation to/from Washington, DC airport to the competition site
3. incidentals - baggage, tips, etc.
The amount of the travel allowance will be determined by the location of the team and the average cost of travel from that area.  Travel allowance will not exceed $3,500 per team; (this amount is a maximum, not a per team allowance) however, few teams, other than teams traveling from abroad, will require that amount.  If travel costs are determined to exceed the authorized limit, the team may choose to either:
1. fundraise to collet the balance of the travel costs OR
2. receive a trophy and certificates of achievement donated by Foundation in lieu of traveling to JLAB.
