The International History Bee and Bowl is the international division of NHBB. It consists of the National History Bowl, a four-player team event played on pyramidal questions in a four-quarter format, and the National History Bee, an individual elimination-style event.IHBB holds tournaments in Canada, Asia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. IHBB hosts the International History Olympiad, open to qualifying students worldwide. IHBB was founded in 2010 along with NHBB.

In recent years, IHBB has also organized a number of other events such as the Science Bee, Academic Bee & Bowl, and Geography Bee.

History Bowl Format

A History Bowl game consists of 4 quarters, and the number of questions in each quarter is not standardized. The first quarter features tossups worth 10 points each. The second quarter features tossups and one-part bonuses, worth 10 points. The third quarter, known as the Lightning Round, gives teams 60 seconds to answer a series of increasingly difficult short questions on a particular theme. Questions missed by one team "bounceback" to the other team. Finally, the fourth quarter features powermarked tossups worth 30, 20, or 10 points.

History Bee Format

In local competitions, history bee questions are simply a series of 30-tossups, worth 1 point each. However, students who obtain 7 (this number used to be 8 until recently) are said to "exit" the round, and gain a number of bonus points based on where they exit (for a total score ranging from 8 to 15).

At nationals, the history bee uses the 6-5-4-3-2-1 scoring system. Tossups are powermarked, and based on where a student buzzes they can earn either 6,5,4, or 3 points if they are correct. If they are incorrect, they suffer a -2 penalty if they buzzed before the end of the tossup, and a -1 penalty otherwise.

In both local bees and national bees, 3 incorrect interrupts "kill" the question.
