Quiz Bowl Sponsored by NCASA 

Quiz Bowl is an academic competition in which two teams of four students compete head to head using a buzzer system to be the first to answer questions read by a moderator. The fast-paced format tests the combined prowess of the teams to determine the ultimate winner.  Mr. Hamilton coaches the Atkins Quiz Bowl team. At Regionals, the 2018-19 team beat the Early College of Guilford, one of the best teams in the country, but lost to them at the state tournament to finish as state champion runner-up. They even took their first trip to Nationals! 

As an NCASA-hosted event, the State Quiz Bowl Tournament is a component of the Scholastic Cup. Accordingly, only NCASA Member Schools such as Atkins may participate in the State Quiz Bowl Tournament and earn Scholastic Cup Points.  This event is presented in cooperation with National Academic Quiz Tournaments (NAQT) using nationally-recognized NAQT standards, rules, and questions.
