Fun practice formats

Several alternative or "fun" formats of quizbowl exist for use at less serious practices or in scrimmages.

Designate Bowl

See Designate Bowl.

Two-Headed Monster

In Two-Headed Monster, two players (usually the best two in attendance if there's an incredibly lopsided set of players) play as a team; their team acts as though it is playing Designate Bowl (i.e. no signaling whatsoever, each player can only buzz when he/she thinks their teammate knows the answer, and only that teammate can give an answer). The entire rest of the room plays against the "monster" as a large team.
