Several pre-bowl events are scheduled this month in preparation for the return of CU-Boulder's Trivia Bowl April 2-6, including mock Trivia Bowls March 13 and 21 and a seeding test March 18 to match teams competitively for the five-day bowl.
On March 13 and March 21, the University of baby直播app Student Union's Program Council will preview the fun and excitement of the Trivia Bowl with mock bowls in the University Memorial Center dining area across from Baby Doe's.
The mock bowls are designed to reintroduce students to the Trivia Bowl after an eight-year hiatus and to provide actual experience of the event through participation. "This is an opportunity for students to get hands-on experience of the event, something they couldn't get through just reading about it," said Gabi Olivares, Program Council director.
A series of 15-minute rounds of competition will take place every hour from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Students will be randomly selected from the audience to participate against a Program Council team.
Students are encouraged to come and test their trivia knowledge and to get a sense of what is coming in April when the CU Trivia Bowl returns to the Glenn Miller Ballroom.
In the seeding test, at 4 p.m. March 18 in the Alferd Packer Grill, the 12 Trivia Bowl judges and Program Council staff will administer a trivia test to all applicable teams to determine the competition structure.
The written test will be given to individual teams to determine skill level. Four members of each team may take the test together and team members may collectively pool their knowledge to do their best on the test.
The test covers a full range of trivia as defined in the Trivia Bowl rules. The questions will range from easy to hard to obtain a wide distribution of scores.
Teams will be paired according to scores to encourage strong competition late in the tournament. Following tabulation of the test scores, a competition schedule will be published with actual team names. The schedule will be published through local media, posted at the UMC in the Alferd Packer Grill and reproduced in the event program.
Failure to take the test could result in a poor draw for the team. Teams are encouraged to attend to assure a better place in the competition structure.
