Fun Community Challenge Set For Saturday, May 12

Help Our Quiz Bowl Team Head to National Competition
 
The John Cooper School's Varsity Quiz Bowl Team is raising funds to compete in the National Academic Championship by hosting a Community Quiz Bowl Challenge on campus on May 12. Members of the community are invited to form four-member teams and join in a morning of friendly Quiz Bowl competition.
 
The entry fee of $60 per team ($15 per person) will go toward expenses for the Cooper team to attend the national competition that will be held in Orlando this summer. The Cooper Community Quiz Bowl will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m. (for those who qualify to play through all four rounds).

“Most teams will be out after two rounds, by approximately 10:30 a.m., with the exception of those who go on to final rounds,” said faculty sponsor Shannon Hill. There will be a pre-game briefing. All teams play the first two rounds, and then rounds three and four are the playoffs. The teams that finish in first and second place are awarded prizes. 

            Quiz Bowl team members are writing the questions and running Cooper's community tournament. "The team has a lot of fun writing challenging questions that are still appropriate for new players," said faculty sponsor Shannon Hill. "The questions are varied and can include topics related to the sciences, music and art, geography, math and current events, even pop culture. The emphasis is on having a good time."

Teams must register ahead of time. For more information, or to register your team, email Hill at shill@johncooper.org.
