Why watch videos of bad 1990s American quizbowl when you can watch videos of top-quality 2011 British quizbowl?

Edit: there is also this video from the same tournament, featuring a spectacular and very physical buzzer race at 6:29.

At some point, the PBS affiliate in Southern Illinois uploaded every single match from the most recent season of their quiz show, Scholastic Hi-Q. The only teams most people might recognize are Cumberland (they went to NSC, but their best player didn't do Hi-Q) and Carbondale.

It's a four quarter format of terrible questions including video and audio questions that usually go along the lines of "Here's a video question *buzz*" (there's also some multiple choice). Adding to the funn is that the show is hosted by a college student with a terrible sense of humor and zero personality and a set that is exactly the same as when I was in high school and was on the show 8 years ago. Brackets are often made with no rhyme or reason - 2 of the 3 best teams played each other in the first round this year.

To watch the video, you have to click on the score of the game, so if you don't mind knowing who wins before watching, click here: http://www3.wsiu.org/television/hiq/bracket.php

If you want to watch without knowing who's winning, here are a few games of note:

Carbondale's first round match against the school that would go on to get 4th in the state in Illinois' small school class on IHSA questions: http://www3.wsiu.org/video/hiq/redirect.php?record=1

Two random games that have somewhat close endings, the first from the first round and the second from the second round: http://www3.wsiu.org/video/hiq/redirect.php?record=2 and http://www3.wsiu.org/video/hiq/redirect.php?record=15

A semifinal that goes down to the wire, with a school of 500 playing a school of 2500: http://www3.wsiu.org/video/hiq/redirect.php?record=30

The championship: http://www3.wsiu.org/video/hiq/redirect.php?record=18

So the documentary was actually a thing? According to the Teamworks website (quizbowl video info has since been removed) it was only a short promotional film that NAQT commissioned to show to potential sponsors and nothing more was planned.

Whoa. You know, this reminds me, there's got to be at least some members of this community who can write passably in French. If NAQT or HSAPQ opened up a French division, they could tap into a lot of the Francophone Canadian market, at the very least.

While this is possible, it would probably require a good working knowledge of Canadian French to be effective, which is an entirely different beast from français standard.

The host of the TV show is speaking in rather French French (I assume because it's sort of "official"—it was a nice surprise to actually be able to understand things)
I can't imagine many Québecois people being toooo confused?

Right, so obviously they would understand what's going on -- in retrospect, I probably should have modified the word "effective" with "truly" in my last post -- but as a Canadian who speaks the language and majored in it at the university level, and has worked for two summers with youth from Quebec (and these youth were from Montreal -- things get worse the more rural you go) I can assure you that the spoken word in particular is different enough to be noticeable and that a knowledge of Québécois would be the ideal if you want to tap into the French Canadian market.

I'm also not surprised that the French in the video is 'French French' -- while vernacular French in many African countries takes on a number of peculiarities, my experience is that in the academy français standard seems to be the norm.

Some videos from Masterminds, a quizbowl league in Upstate New York, can be found here, under the "Masterminds" playlist. While the number of sound effects is probably excessive and the quality of both the readers and the contestants is questionable, these are actually on Good questions, unlike most other televised quiz bowls, though I'm reasonably certain that no one actually watches it.

EDIT: Also, here's a playlist of videos of the Linnaean Games, the Entomological Society of America's Science Bowlesque collegiate insect-off. While I know little of entomology, the questions seem to have very high variance in difficulty.

Oh, hey, my alma mater was in this!

I actually went to a few taping when I was in town to support my team. It's pretty good as far as TV Quizbowl goes as long as you can deal with the host: the first tossup round is speedchecks and the second "volleyball round" is essentially alternating bonus parts, but after that is a 60-second round and the fourth round, which I believe uses A-Set or similar questions. Certainly one of the better televised versions of the game I've sat through.

Our local TV thing is the Parkland Challenge, run by the sumptuously appointed local Community College. They're nice people, albeit they use single-elim on mostly one-clue tossups. Also there's conferring on tossups the other team guesses wrong, and some other wacky format stuff. Anyway, watch some quizbowl!
