Quizbowl Budget

FY2015 (July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015)

Quizbowl is an organization centered around trivia (i.e. college bowl, academic team). We play all varieties of trivia games ranging from those of an academic nature to those focusing on popular culture. We frequently travel to other universities to participate in tournaments.
