Quiz Bowl to compete in Battle of the Brains

By JONAH ELLMAN

    During the five competitions that the Quiz Bowl team participated in, they were against kids their same age, fire against fire.

    But on May 19, we’ll see how they perform against adults!  Yes, finally, Quiz Bowl might actually be outnumbered!

    This competition will be held at East, so anybody can come to this brawl.  This will consist of seven different teams, three of which have already had Quiz Bowl experience.  6th, 7th, and 8th graders will all be separated to different teams, while the other four teams have Alumni Quiz Bowl members (high-schoolers that joined Quiz Bowl in middle school), parents, business partners (those of which help sponsor the school), and teachers from East.

    Several rounds will be run, pairing different groups of two teams, until all but one team is eliminated. 

    The winning team will be given the Nobel East Prize, a trophy meant for a winner.
