The North Metropolitan Scholastic Bowl League or "North-Metro" or "NMSBL" is a league of Chicago schools created specifically to support Scholastic Bowl. The teams comprising the League are found on Chicago's north side as well as the north, northwest, and near western suburbs. The League is a mix of both small and large schools. Eight of the schools are private (6 Catholic, 2 non-religious), with the other two representing the Chicago Public Schools (CPS), which does not support Scholastic Bowl competition.
History
Loyola Academy was a founding member of the League, with David Riley a key co-founder.
