Welcome to the Quizbowl Wiki (QBWiki), a compendium of information on Quizbowl, from middle school up to the masters level.

If you are new to Quizbowl, start with the "Introduction to Quizbowl" series that you can see to the right.

The most important organizations in Quizbowl are ACF, NAQT, HSAPQ, and PACE. Additionally, an important website for the Quizbowl community is at hsquizbowl.org, which is hosted by the Quizbowl Resource Center. Also check out our page on quizbowl software.

You can help improve QBWiki by

  • making sure that articles on topics you know firsthand are informative and updated,
  • creating an article on an important topic or person that does not already have an article (see here for a list of pages we would like to see created), and

QBWiki uses wikitext. If you are unfamiliar with reading and writing wikitext, read this guide for reference.
