What Is Quizbowl?
Quiz Bowl is family of games that involves answering a broad range of random,
organized questions, frequently known as Academic or Scholar's Bowl among other
names, and usually pits groups of middle, high school and college level students
against each other in a number of different academic challenges. Putting that
into plain English, it's pretty much "Team Jeopardy," with a few simple twists
in game play. Not only is Quiz Bowl a good opportunity for students to enjoy
themselves, but is also called an effective academic tool, teaching memorization
and study skills, as well as responsibility and teamwork. With the season
wrapping up, we decided to ask some of our Quiz Bowl members what they thought
about their experiences on the team this year as well as Quiz Bowl in general.
