At the Regional and National levels, The National History Bowl is a buzzer-based history quiz competition for teams. Teams compete against other teams in a series of rounds where they attempt to be the first to ring in and answer paragraph-length questions about various topics in history. Each correct answer usually results in 10 points, though in some parts of the match, correctly answering quickly results in more points.  At Regional tournaments, there are usually 5 preliminary rounds, and a single elimination tournament among the qualifiers to decide the champion. Students who win half of their preliminary rounds qualify for the National Championships, which consists of 10 matches or more to determine the National Champion.

This is a trivia style question and answer competition. Students are scored based on the number of correct questions answered. See competition website for complete details.

Eligibility:
In order to compete in the History Bowl, you must be 19 years or younger at the time of your State or Regional Bee. You must also be enrolled in primary or secondary education (or have graduated within the past five months, and not yet have started university studies). Students in dual enrollment with a university who have not yet completed their high school diploma are also eligible. Individual homeschooled students and homeschool associations may also compete.  There are no geographic limitations to participating in state or regional History Bees - a student from Maine can compete in a Hawaii tournament. However, students may only compete in one tournament per question set. That means for students in this event, they can attend a maximum of 3 regional or state tournaments per year, one each on our A, B, and C sets.
