Brain Bowl Team (aka Quiz Bowl)

A competitive team competes against other colleges from Florida and (sometimes) other states in tournaments covering academic knowledge. Questions are longer than Jeopardy; they are typically 3-5 sentences long and scoped so that knowing more information about topics can allow you to buzz in early to beat out the other team. Topics range from Science, History and other Social Sciences, Humanities like Literature, Mythology, Art and Music, plus current events. A team consists of up to 4 players, and we occasionally have enough players for two teams. We often travel for competitions around Florida and have even competed nationally with travel to Atlanta, St. Louis, and Chicago in past years. The college pays for the travel (hotel, food, registration, and van/airplane), plus scholarships are available.
