disagree  Chinh Chu: It's a fast-paced academic competition. Please find the definition at http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/Knowledge Bowl

  -> I don't think so in this context...knowledge/trivia bowls are very common...yes, this phrase is sometimes used as an intense competition such as an collegiate scholar bowl with state/conference/national recognition
agree  Gisela Herrera: no entiendo el "disagree" anterior. La definición que ofrece el link es justamente la opción que proponés, un concurso o juego de preguntas y respuestas
