ACF Fall 2010 Results


We are a group of graduate and undergraduate students who like to participate in College Bowl tournaments and similar competitions. The exact rules of these competitions vary a bit, but generally, opposing teams of players try to answer trivia questions (about science, history, sports, etc.) and it's a bit like Jeopardy minus the answer-as-a-question format. You buzz in when you know the answer. If you're right, your team gets points and the team as a whole tries to answer a bonus question. If it's wrong ... well ... that's a different story. We find it very entertaining as well as (marginally) practical.

We meet weekly (most of the time) and practice our skills against each other. Practices are held typically (as of 2009) in the SAC on Monday and Thursday nights starting around 7PM. Here directions how to get into the practice room. A few times a year we send teams to tournaments at other schools. We also organize our own tournaments, both for the Caltech community and for teams from other schools, including local high schools.

If you think you might like to try out for a tournament team, or if you just want more information about Caltech Quiz Bowl, talk us or visit go to newsletter options. We're always looking for new talent, and that means you!
