The WVIA Scholastic Scrimmage is a trivia-based competition held annually by television station WVIA, and it involves high school students in the area competing for up to $5,000 in reward money on a televised game show. The format has two teams of four student answer questions (referred to as “tossups”) read with the hardest clues placed at the beginning and the easiest ones at the end, with the team getting it correct receiving a bonus question for extra points. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to disclose the outcomes of the matches, but our team did well overall. The competition usually airs a few months after the finals take place, so it can be expected to air around January.
