Scholastic Bowl is a fast-paced game similar to Jeopardy played by teams. Each team consists
of five players, and the players try to "buzz in" more quickly than the other team when a toss-up
question is read. If the player answers correctly, his or her team gets ten points and an
opportunity to answer a four-part bonus question worth up to twenty points. The team then has
thirty seconds to talk amongst themselves about the answers to each part of the question. If a
player answers incorrectly, the other teams get an opportunity to answer the toss-up. A match
consists of about twenty toss-up and bonus questions and the team with the most points at the end
of the match wins. Questions can fall in many different categories - including History, Literature,
Music, Mathematics, Earth Science, Biology, Driver's Ed, Home Economics, etc.
