Honda Campus All-Star Challenge (HCASC) is a year-long, campus-wide activity. It brings together the whole campus community -- students, faculty, administration and alumni. The Q & A game combines academic material, popular culture and sports in a format emphasizing quick recall. African American history and culture is prominently featured in the questions.
The HCASC season involves two tiers -- the Campus Program and the National Championship. Campus competition takes place in the fall with all students eligible to play in the Campus Tournament. Sixty-four HBCUs qualify to attend the National Championship Tournament, held in the spring.
After the Campus Tournament, the Campus Coordinator and Coach select the Varsity Team of players (up to 12 players). The Varsity Team meets in weekly practice sessions until the final NCT Team (four players and one alternate) are named.
Preparation is stenuous, but in the end, it is all "serious fun."
