Qblitz is excited to announce its second season of online quizbowl competition! Qblitzers can compete against players across the country from their home computers.

This year, we are thrilled to offer a FREE one-day middle school event on February 2, 2020. Additionally, middle schoolers can play any of the high school events, including the upcoming FREE novice event on November 17.

The complete list of Qblitz tournaments for the 2019-20 season is:

• Novice, a FREE one-day tournament for anyone new to high school quizbowl. (November 17, 2019)

You can register for any of these events from this page.

Qblitz is also proud to offer the David Reinstein Improver Scholarship. The Reinstein scholar will win a season pass to all Qblitz events that he/she is eligible for in the 2019-20 season. To apply, please visit our scholarship page.

Middle schoolers have been playing Qblitz events all year and crushing it! Just last week, these three MSers competed in the Varsity-level Qblitz Winter 2 and took home top MS honors:

C Y (Barrington, IL)
Rohan K (Barrington Middle School Station Campus)
S Gollamudi (Hoffman Estates, IL)

It's almost time for Qblitz's very first MS-only event, and it's FREE to enter. The Middle School Showdown 1 event will be on Sunday, February 2. If you're a middle school quizbowler, then you can sign up by logging in to your Qblitz account and going to the Events page. (You can sign up for other events while you're there, too.) If you're a middle school coach who is interested in signing up a team, please email me at [email protected] so I can help set up your coach account.

We're looking forward to a huge turnout with players from across the country. Hope to see you there!
