Mission
The CWRU Quizbowl Team represents Case Western Reserve University at trivia and quizbowl competitions at the regional and national levels in both academic and pop culture tournaments. On campus, CWRU Quizbowl usually hosts events for area high school students twice a year. CWRU Quizbowl alums and players have won millions of dollars on 'Jeopardy!', 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' and other television game shows. The time commitment for CWRU Quizbowl is entirely up to the player. Practices occur in Thwing on Mondays and Thursdays between 6 and 7:30 pm, and students can show up at whatever times they are available during these practices. On average, CWRU teams attend 4 tournaments per semester across the Great Lakes region, in Canada and throughout the greater United States. Some players have played in one tournament over four years while others have played in thirty; each player chooses how active they would like to be. Most importantly, and unlike some other collegiate quizbowl programs, Case Quizbowl is not a blood sport. We intend for practices and tournaments to be fun, mind expanding, and humane. Any undergraduate or graduate student is welcome to join; just show up to a practice! We select teams for traveling competitions based on practice attendance and the rules of the events we attend, though we rarely have to turn people down when they wish to participate.
We have weekly practice meetings on Thursdays from 6:00-7:30 on the third floor of Thwing.
