Re: Collegiate Quizbowl opportunities and/or advice for a potential new team in Colorado

I know this is a year-old post, but is there any news about your team?
SD Mines is working on their quiz bowl team, and we'd love to help you all out if you need it!!
Because trust me, we also feel the pain of being in the most sparsely-populated part of the lower 48 :lol:

Re: Starting intramural Quiz Bowl at South Dakota Mines

UPDATE: We're working toward funding from our campus! I messed up the application some so I hope it works out (I'm new to this oops) We have 50 on the Discord now, though I'd say only 20-30% of people are active. But 10-15 active/ish members is still good! Plenty for a couple teams and planners, and...

Re: Announcement: Boilermaker Spring Novice (March-April 2022)

Hello, I'm the president of the quiz bowl team at South Dakota Mines, will there be any hosts in the Mountain West region (or could we play online)? We'd love to participate in this competition, but we're probably not able to travel all the way to Purdue, if they are really the only host for this. A...

Re: Starting intramural Quiz Bowl at South Dakota Mines

Both suggested questions sets look great! I'll definitely give them a look. I just became aware that ACF Fall exists, and that has me really excited. What a goal to work toward in the coming year! Especially if Black Hills State University (the REAL BHSU??!?!) starts Quiz Bowl in the next year as we...

Re: Starting intramural Quiz Bowl at South Dakota Mines

Thanks for the information! Never heard of BuzzIn, but I'll be sure to check it out. Sounds like a good system that we could use before we get funding. I do think intramural quiz bowl would be a good starting point, considering that the local area is a bit lacking in Quiz Bowl and all. Starting off ...

Starting intramural Quiz Bowl at South Dakota Mines

Hi everyone. I've been trying to plan for Quiz Bowl competitions on campus here in Rapid City. My current focus is on intramural QB because the local area doesn't have Quiz Bowl already, but I'm having difficulty figuring out how we'll get funding for buzzers (which are $200 on the *low* end) and qu...
