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.

Washington Knowledge Bowl website or the Washington
