Toss Up

by |Published

When I was in high school, I participated in only one sport: quiz bowl. I know what you’re thinking: quiz bowl isn’t a sport. Only a stupid jock who’s never played would say that.

You stupid jock.

Anyway, this weekend is my chance to give back to the bowl. SLAC is hosting regional competition in the DOE Science Bowl, and I’m volunteering as a moderator. I get to read questions and oversee the students’ answers. I’ll be working with a scorekeeper and timekeeper for each round.

So here’s my chance to give back to the teachers who managed our quiz bowl team in high school.
