There were your normal tournaments, where the questions were about art, history, literature, etc. Then there were Trash Tournaments, where the questions were all about pop culture - music, movies, popular books, etc. One year our team qualified for the national Trash Tournament ('Trashionals') in Boston. On one match we played, our opponents had a Jeopardy College Championship winner on their team. We didn't find this out until we talked to them after the match, I was like, "wow, so you won the car and everything?" She was like, "yep."Knowing this information made our victory over them all the more sweeter.That's awesome! I did quizbowl in college as well. We had a pretty incredible Trash team. Unfortunately, I dropped out of college two years in. I miss it so much.
