In the opening Waccamaw had defeated South Brunswick Middle School with a score of 700 to 560. In the contest, the teams take turns answering questions for points in four 10-minute quarters. Questions are based on material in the students' eighth-grade North Carolina history text. The textbook is used as the basis for a 30-page study guide prepared by historic site employees. Guides are distributed one month in advance so eighth-grade students can study for the bowl competition, said Jim Bartley, assistant site manager at Brunswick Town.

It’s basically where the kids are at the end of the first semester," he continued. But at the state bowl, he said, students will answer questions that span the state’s 400-year history.
