What is quiz bowl?

Quiz bowl involves two opposing teams with five members on each team. The reader reads a tossup question and if a player buzzes in first and answers it correctly, that team gets the point. If that player gets it wrong, then the other team has a chance to answer the question.

Questions involve material from areas such as literature, history, science, mathematics, fine arts, pop culture, current events, and other knowledge students should've learned while in high school. There is also a worksheet round in which the team works together to answer the clues whose answers all begin with the same letter.



Tell me more.

Who: All interested sophomores, juniors, or seniors are encouraged to join. Mr. Mark Miller is our new coach with Mrs. Philips assisting.
When and Where: Practices alternate before school at 7:30 and afterschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the library. Tournaments are held at high schools and colleges all over West Virginia usually on Saturdays.
Why: Simple. It's excitingly challenging and competitive! And it may help you pass those Jeopardy! auditions someday...
