Well, as I have seen on other boards, there is a list of videos on YouTube on different subjects. Well, I have decided to start one for Quiz Bowl. Please don't post anything from questions that still have to be played this year, or the NAQT rule that is done by the website.

Here are three videos to start:

La Costa Canyon High School, California, a practice, apparently, but a mock game is done, shows the CA style of quiz bowl.

Here is a clip of the show "Scholars Bowl" from WSJK in East Tennessee/Knoxville. It shows a match between the Webb School and West High Schools, in the finals of the show.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7Ztcbtp ... re=related

Here is a clip from WHIO-TV in Dayton, OH, and their local quiz show, "High Q" (just like WSB). The game is between Carroll and Miami Valley High Schools. The station has this whole game online.

Here are some more videos. I will try to post some that are not on YouTube, so the masses can see them.

The Granite State Challenge, which is done by New Hampshire Public TV, is a show in its 26th year, with 32 out of 83 high schools competing. It is a well put-together show, done by veteran host.

They have videos of every show in the season so far. http://www.nhptv.org/gsc/current_season.asp

Next up is the Mega Conference show, which is done in the Detroit suburbs on local access. You could tell the difference between the two shows, as they mostly use one-two sentence questions. Here is a match between Southgate and Crestwood.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PTT8Fe05g4

Here is a gem. TV quiz bowl was done in the New Orleans area for decades, and this example is from 1986. Northshore (Slidell) meets L.W. Higgins (Marrero) in a match. Look at all the big 80's hair styles. Dan Milham (who still does weather in New Orleans) hosts. There is a show from 1975 on YouTube of Prep Quizbowl, also from NO.

Whenever I try to watch this the videos keep randomly switching to double-speed about halfway in. Every time that one Ira dude starts to say "Rob Zombie" I can't watch the rest! Lame.

I have some more videos to show you.

Here is a video of the latest QuizBusters game. The show is on WKAR in Lansing, MI, and includes Hillsdale vs. Pottersville. It is widely thought of as one of the best TV quiz shows out there, and is hosted by Matt Ottinger.

http://wkar.org/quizbusters/program.php?num=2009

Here is a find. This is one of the KY Governor's Cup quarterfinal games, between Betsy Layne and Russell, from 2001. It has 3 parts.

Here are some more videos to look at.

NJ members: Here's the match between Pingry and Teaneck, during News 12's The Challenge in 2007. Like any other TV quiz show, the questions are very easy. The crowd whoops after every question.

Here is a team in Wisconsin, Tremper (same nickname as us), on a televised quiz bowl. They act like wise guys, as it says in the title, and includes some of the worst questions ever. What is the biggest problem facing Wisconsin's crime lab? :oops:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVI4sa3JaXk

Some Battle of the Brains action (Richmond) from the 1980's.

This proves they actually play quiz bowl in Palm Springs, CA. Palm Desert whoops all the time.

RE The crime lab question: I love how they ask for him to be more specific, he restates his answer using different words, and they accept it!

And also, with the smug host (Richard Walasek), with the Wisconsin accent ("dubbed the Alex Trebek of Kenosha"), the boy that puts his head down while answering (getting the question right!), and other funnies, this is one of the best videos I have posted.

This talks more about the challenge. http://www.uwp.edu/news/Perspective/spr ... llenge.pdf

I have an interesting anecdote to tell about something similar from PAC. At the 2007 PAC finals, we were told to say something to test that both of our microphones worked. So we're team 4, and Greg Peterson says "Two peanuts walked into a bar, and one of them was a-salted," to which I reply (as the other half of the mic check) "Yeah, what he said." Then Dees, as part of team 6, says "Greg, that was a terrible joke."

Needless to say, the next year, during the mic check, we were instructed to say only our names.

This may be one of my favorite things ever posted on this forum.

Highland County doesn't have a middle school, so they're grades 6-12. Their enrollment for 2007-08 was 161. In grades 9-12, it's 105. They're one of the smallest public high schools in the state.

This year's state championship will be in a couple of weeks. It will be aired the following Saturday, and should be online soon.

Edit:
After watching this, I've determined that this would make a good drinking game.
Have a drink any time:
An incorrect answer is given by the moderator as the correct answer (I'm looking at you, math questions)
The same word is an answer to two questions in the same round (bonus if the word is the answer to both the tossup and the bonus answer for that tossup, as happened in one of the matches I assisted with in regional play)
Two nearly-identical questions are asked in successive rounds (I don't think this happened here, but I've heard it happen in regional play)
Two teams blankly stare at the moderator
An incorrect answer is given (note: do not attempt to do this during the lightning round, when teams are encouraged just to shout out answers)

by **scquizbowl** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 11:38 am

I did see that Idaho quiz bowl video, and it was kind of cheap, as one team was wearing suits, and the other team was wearing polo shirts. It didn't match up.
