Oklahoma Quiz Bowl Alliance


About OQBA

The Oklahoma Quiz Bowl Alliance (OQBA) was formed in the fall of 2000 for the purposes of promoting quiz bowl competitions in the state of Oklahoma, spreading awareness among Oklahoma teams of the opportunities for such competitions, and increasing the competitiveness of Oklahoma teams in regional and national competitions. OQBA runs annual fall and spring tournaments and maintains a calendar of tournament information for local teams.

Schools and teams do not have to "join" the OQBA, and there are no "membership" requirements for attending our tournaments.

Contact us at: OQBA, PO Box 1428, Norman OK 73070
