Varsity Quiz Bowl

Varsity Quiz Bowl was a long-running quizbowl show in the New Orleans area. The show ended in 1991.

Format

The format consists of ten-point "faceoffs" (with five-point negs in play). Getting a "faceoff" question earns the team the opportunity to answer a 20, 25, 30, or 40 point "lagniappe".

Additonally, the show features two "rapid-fire" rounds of faceoffs where only one team can answer and negs are assessed for any wrong answer. Further, each match has one "super trivia" question worth 50 points.
