SEG/DGS Middle East Challenge Bowl

The 13^th SEG|DGS Annual Middle East Challenge Bowl invites ten teams of two students each from the same university or college in the region to go head-to-head in this exciting competition! Priority will be given to SEG student members from the SEG Middle East student chapter list and they may be at the graduate or undergraduate level. This is an excellent opportunity for geosciences students to display their geophysical and geological knowledge in this fun, rapid fire, push-the-buzzer, who-can-answer-first contest.

Winners will represent the Middle East and get an all-expenses-paid trip sponsored by Dhahran Geoscience Society to San Antonio, Texas, USA for the SEG International Exposition and 89^th Annual Meeting on 15-20 September 2019.

How does the contest work?

The contest will consist of 3 legs of 3 rounds each—9 rounds in total. All teams participate in the first leg, after which the 4 teams with the lowest cumulative score on the first 3 rounds retire leaving the 4 top teams to continue playing.

After the second leg of 3 rounds, the 2 teams with the lowest cumulative score on the second leg only (not including the first leg scoring) retire leaving the top 2 teams to compete in the final 3 rounds. Scoring is reset for each leg rather than being carried over between legs.
