Quiz Bowl Club to host pop culture trivia tournament Feb 25

Submitted by Keely Hutchinson

Quiz Bowl Club, a registered independent student organization, invites the K-State community to join us for the Feb. 25 mirror of ACRONYM 16. 

ACRONYM is a low-difficulty pop culture question set accessible to all skill levels. This is an open tournament, meaning that anyone can compete, even if they are not affiliated with a collegiate quiz bowl team. A general division planned specifically for those unfamiliar with the pyramidal quiz bowl format but still excited about pop culture trivia. The team size is up to four individuals, and advance registration is required to ensure there is enough staff and space to run the tournament.

The registration deadline is 11:59 p.m. Feb. 18. Please have your team registered before the deadline. 

The $20 per person entry fee goes toward the cost of the question set, and the rest of the proceeds directly benefit the Quiz Bowl Club. Club funds allow entry into academic tournaments across the country, as well as travel expenses.  

The tournament will start at 9 a.m. on Feb. 25 in Calvin Hall. More information and details will be sent out following registration, closer to the tournament date.
