INTRODUCING THE 2026 GSC CHALLENGE TEAMS
On Sunday, November 9, 35 NH high school teams of up to six students took a 100-question written test as a team at Plymouth Regional High School. The 14 top-scoring teams are advancing to play on Granite State Challenge. Four teams that participated in Super Sunday but didn't score in the top 14 and haven't played on Granite State Challenge in the past two seasons were randomly chosen to compete in two non-televised wildcard games.
