Revision as of 16:36, 23 April 2021
Prison Bowl is a series of annual winter/spring high school question sets produced largely by Hunter since 2008. They have generally been praised for their quality. Historically, many teams have traveled long distances to compete in the main tournament hosted at Hunter.
Its name derives from Hunter's nickname, "Brick Prison," since the fortress-like school building resembles a prison with sparse narrow windows.
Question sets
Prison Bowl I
2008 Prison Bowl was written by Hunter and North Kansas City, and head-edited by Guy Tabachnick and Charlie Dees.
Prison Bowl II
In 2009, Prison Bowl II was a collaboration between Hunter and Walter Johnson, head-edited by Guy Tabachnick and Daichi Ueda.
Prison Bowl III
Prison Bowl III was written entirely by Hunter, with some last-minute contributors. Its head-editor was then-sophomore Lily Chen.
Average tossup length came down to 5 lines for this iteration, a change which stayed in 2011.
Prison Bowl IV
Prison Bowl IV was a 15-packet set, this time written entirely by Hunter and again edited by Lily Chen.
Starting in 2017, the tossups are power-marked.
