High IQ Bowl
The Greensboro Youth Council coordinates a Jeopardy-style competition among area high schools called High IQ Bowl. Crescent Rotary Club has sponsored the scholarships for the runner-up team for about a decade.
To promote the event, the GYC sponsors mock competitions between Crescent Rotary and either local high school teams or Greensboro Rotary each year. Crescent fields a pretty decent team, good enough to beat teams from Greensboro Day School and Grimsley High School, both past High IQ Bowl champs.
We won the initial match against Greensboro Rotary, then lost the next two. One of the fun parts of the mock High IQ is that Ed Cone and I have always been opposing team captains. This is how I first met Ed and what ultimately led to me blogging.
Our annual mock competition against Greensboro Rotary is at lunch today, but Ed will not be there. He is no longer in Greensboro Rotary, so they will probably send some weenie as a captain this year. I will miss challenging the blogfather in a game of wits.
*** UPDATE ***
Crescent Rotary prevailed with ease today to even the record with Greensboro Rotary at 2-2.
