quiz bowls

Academic knowledge contests

Quiz bowls are academic competitions where teams answer questions on subjects ranging from history and science to literature and pop culture.

A moderator reads questions aloud, and players buzz in to answer before opponents.

The format emphasizes quick recall and broad knowledge: Our school's quiz bowl team made it to regionals.

Also called academic bowl or scholar bowl.
