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.
