A quiz bowl is a competitive event where teams answer questions on a variety of subjects, including history, science, literature, and pop culture. Each team consists of several players who work together to respond to questions as quickly and accurately as possible. The format often includes a moderator who reads the questions, and teams earn points for correct answers. Quiz bowls are popular in schools and universities, promoting teamwork and knowledge. They can be held at local, regional, or national levels, with some events even televised. Participants often enjoy the challenge and the opportunity to showcase their knowledge in a fun environment.
