Freelance Quiz Bowl University Returns

Freelance Quiz Bowl University returns for the fall with another series of articles about how to get better at the behind-the-scenes aspects of quiz bowl – writing better questions, running better tournaments, and practicing to make you and your team more competitive. This fall’s series begins with a four-step method for writing tossups that avoid the Biography Bowl trap. That article can be found here.

Freelance Quiz Bowl University articles will debut every other Thursday, excepting Thanksgiving, for a total of seven fall articles. In some future articles we plan on using additional media, such as PowerPoint slide shows and videos, to provide even better instruction.

If you have a suggestion for a Freelance Quiz Bowl University article topic, please contact Dwight Wynne at dpwynne@gmail.com.
