WaShBowl

WaShBowl is a pop culture quizbowl tournament written by the quiz societies of Warwick and Sheffield. The difficulty was targeted at an equivalent of 2 dots, and the first closed mirror was held on 9 March 2023, won by Southampton Gaslight, a team from, unsurprisingly, Southampton.

A high school mirror of the set was allegedly held on 20 April 2024 at Olentangy Berlin.

A sequel, WaShBowl II: Bowlie à Deux, was played on 1 March 2025, and saw 24 teams from 12 different universities taking part, firmly cementing the desire for pop culture-focused tournaments on the circuit. The tournament was won by Man! I Feel Like a Chester!, representing Manchester University. A Canadian mirror of the set has been proposed but is not yet finalised

An as-yet-unnamed WaShBowl III is in the works, and will likely be played early March 2026.
