KB Equipment

Knowledge Bowl Equipment

The Minnesota Service Cooperatives’ KNOWLEDGE BOWL™ competition equipment are used to facilitate the KNOWLEDGE BOWL™ team competition.  Three teams compete to answer questions by pressing on pressure sensitive strips when they know the answer.  With the help of the Pocket Box, the equipment determines the order in which the teams buzzed in by pressing the pressure strip, indicate when the teams' discussion time has elapsed by means of an audible signal, and tabulate scores for each team.

You will need one of these (plus 3 strips):

KB Pocket Box

The KB Pocket Box provides everything you need to establish the order of team responses, includes a countdown timer for team discussions and answers, and keeps score for each team. It includes an A/C adapter to power the equipment. The KB Pocket Box, along with three pressure strips, forms a complete set. Developed by a former KNOWLEDGE BOWL™ student who is now a coach, it is designed to meet your needs effectively. Its dimensions are comparable to that of a scientific calculator (4” x 8”).

Pressure Sensitive Strips

With press-at-any-point control, the five-foot strips allow team members easy entry with eight-ounce nominal finger pressure sensitivity.  Use and Care:  The pressure sensitive strips are fragile and should be handled with care.  When not in use, the strips should be rolled and secured with a twist tie­ to prevent folding or breakage.
