KYVE Apple Bowl

The KYVE Apple Bowl was a televised competition between high school students in Central Washington.[1][2] Over a period of one to five weeks, 20 to 30 high schools in Central Washington competed at the Apple Bowl studio, located on the Central Washington University campus in Ellensburg, Washington.[3] Co-produced by Central Washington University, the competition aired on the former PBS-affiliate station KYVE in Yakima each spring.[4] The program reached an audience of over 200,000 families in the region.[5][6]

Format

The single-elimination competition format included lightning, tossup, and bonus rounds.[7] The first and second place team members received checks from Washington Apple Education Foundation,[8] and the two-foot tall traveling Apple Bowl Cup was displayed at the first place school until the next competition season.[9][10] Seniors on the first, second, and third place teams also won $3,000 or $2,000 tuition waivers for CWU.[11] Many of the teams also participated in Knowledge Bowl and Quiz Bowl.[11]

History
2010 Apple Bowl winners, Ellensburg High School. From L to R: Hannah Charlton, Adviser Del Enders (holding check), Hayley McVay, captain Joelle Smart (holding trophy), Max Zentner, and Arnulfo Ramirez.

Apple Bowl first began in 1980.[6][12] The program did not have a regular host. KNDO news anchor Dave Ettl was the longtime host for a stint ending with the 2003 tournament. The 2004 event also brought about other changes, including the relocation of tapings from the KYVE studio in Yakima to Central Washington University and had the team members play standing where previously they sat.[9][13]

The winning team for the 2012 season was from West Valley High School, the winning school from 2011. Team members received $1500 in personal checks. The runner-up team of Prosser received $500 in checks. Before 2008, first and second place teams received savings bonds from the Washington Apple Education Foundation.[5]
