About Knowledge Bowl

• Knowledge Bowl is a team competition that is similar to Jeopardy.
• Questions typically fall into one of the following categories: math, science, history, language skills, literature, music, geography, and current events.
• Teams may have a maximum of six members.
• Each knowledge bowl meet consists of a written round and several oral rounds.
• Written Round: the entire team works together to answer 50-60 multiple choice questions.
• Oral Rounds:
  • Three teams compete against each other.
  • No more than four members of each team may participate at one time, but additional members are allowed to substitute during the round.
  • To answer a question, team members touch the team bar then wait to be recognized.
  • A recognized team will have fifteen seconds to discuss and answer the question.
  • All answers must come through the captain and begin with "Our team's answer is".
  • If a team runs out of time or answers incorrectly then other teams will have a chance to answer that question.
• Scoring: One point is awarded for each correct answer, and a team's final score is the sum of their written and oral rounds.
