LCHS Knowledge Bowl

2010-11 Team Members

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.
