High School Quiz Bowl tournament @ UC Berkeley (Mar 7, 2015)
What: Quiz Bowl is a team buzzer competition (similar to science bowl and history bowl) that features questions in all academic subjects (such as science, history, literature, etc). Each team is composed of 4 students from the same school. There will be teams competing from the Bay Area, Sacramento, and Monterey. This tournament will be the 4th tournament in our series of 4 HS tournaments held during the 2014-2015 school year. Called the California Cup, it is the most prestigious series of quiz bowl events in California. We have a Varsity division for experienced teams and a JV division for newer teams. Our tournament in late November featured 49 teams! More information about how Quiz Bowl works can be found at our website, https://www.norcalquizbowl.org/.
