On Saturday, May 22, 2010, the inaugural Tri-State History Bowl will be held at Ridgewood High School in Ridgewood, NJ. This is the first comprehensive history tournament in a "quiz bowl" format to be held in the tri-state area. Teams will compete both by selecting questions from different categories and then conferring together to arrive at an answer, and by ringing in with a buzzer, as on Jeopardy!
Currently, 33 teams from fifteen different area high schools in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut have registered for the tournament, and more may still sign up until May 20. In addition to the primary competition that will feature teams of up to five students, there is also an individual tournament that will run during the lunch break and during a break between the preliminary and playoff rounds.
