The "Quizbowl" Discord server ("the Discord") is an unofficial online space for the nationwide quiz bowl community, especially the collegiate and open circuits.
The server has the vanity url "discord.gg/quizbowl". There is also an affiliate server specifically for high school students (discord.gg/CSRgz53).
History
The server was created in 2017 by Kevin Wang in an attempt to revive the community of the Quizbowl IRC channel by moving it to a more modern platform.[1] The server quickly overtook it in size and popularity and now serves a similar role as the main online space for people to chat about quiz bowl.
In March 2021, the server was made a Discord Partner.
In August 2022, popular demand for additional moderation and more intricate rules led to the appointment of Ganon Evans as the second admin for the server.[2]
