Quiz Bowl Team

Quiz Bowl has been called the "varsity sport of the mind." Teams play games consisting of two 10-minute halves by answering a variety of questions on literature, history, geography, government, the sciences, math, art, popular culture, and sports.

Liberty's Quiz Bowl team has competed in the Big South Conference since 2006, winning the conference tournament in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 & 2012. In addition, we finished third at the NAQT regionals at Virginia Tech in 2012.

Our 2011-2012 team competed in tournaments at Duke University, the University of Virginia, George Mason University, Winthrop University, and Virginia Tech and earned notable victories over the following colleges:
