[edit] Colorado State Knowledge Bowl

I added what I could to the article, but I don't have much history after 1981 (the last year that I played). Additional information on Knowledge Bowl in Colorado would be welcome. UM80018 04:41, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Let me rephrase. Additional factual information on Knowledge Bowl in Colorado would be welcome. UM80018 00:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I am a current member of a Colorado Knowledge Bowl team, so I added what I could about the format of our meets. Smfairlie (talk) 15:46, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Knowledge Bowl in Four Corners Region

Don't eat me, but the eastern four corners area has a pretty good Knowledge Bowl deal going on. Teams at the middle and highschool level from Durango (Miller and Escalante middle schools both), Pagosa Springs, Bayfield, Ignacio, Tibbetts (Farmington, New Mexico), Heights (also from Farmington) and Cortez competing. bizznot

[edit] Capitalization

Looking at this article, I notice at least three different capitalizations of "Knowledge bowl" ("Knowledge bowl", "Knowledge Bowl", and "knowledge bowl"). Does anyone know exactly which is the correct version, and if so, could they edit the article so that "Knowledge bowl" is capitalized the same in every place? If the title is also wrong, Wikipedia:Categories for deletion#Speedy renaming is available. Tewy 21:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I would say "knowledge bowl" is the correct capitalization, just like "football" or "basketball".Lmeister 22:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Westcott

I don't think XC and KB are really compatible, therefore I dispute the claim that Mr. Wescott is the top KBer currently, especially because I don't think I've even heard of Tartan KB making regionals in the past five years. Lmeister 17:11, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why Minnesota?

Is there any reason the only information we have is about Minnesota KB? Colorado's been doing it longer, right? So why is there so much less information? (P.S. I'm flagging the article for "Expert Attention") 1337 r0XX0r 18:12, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Because it's what I know. You're more than welcome to add whatever you would like about Colorado or any other state, as long it's objective, factual, etc. By the way, I'm pretty sure I had flagged it similarly when I created the article with little results. As I said, if you have information to add, please do so. Lmeister 22:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Why should we have information about Colorado Knowledge Bowl? Or Washington? Or New Mexico? Colorodo may have done Knowledge Bowl first, but we did it better. Minnesota's Knowledge Bowl program is the envy of the nation. Minnesota's Knowledge Bowl graduates go on to lead successful lives, and that is what differentiates it from the rest. -Bob Dole III —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.65.67.151 (talk) 03:34, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I'll help!

I was on the 2007 FWPA (Federal Way Public Academy) team. So I might be of some use. Our first practice is next Tuesday, I'll try and get more info from my teacher then. Please reply if I can help. Oh, and by the way Washingtons been doing it longest, since the mid-60's I think. Qwerty mac13 02:45, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I am gathering some information regarding knowledge bowl as it is played in Washington State.

[edit] Washington Rules

In Washington, the written has 50 questions, and there are three oral rounds consisting of 50 questions each, and the switch point is after 25 questions. Room assignments are based on score. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.166.66.193 (talk) 00:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually, four oral rounds, so that each of the nine teams in a division can be pitted against the other eight, two at a time - so, groups of three. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KimOHara (talk • contribs) 03:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
