Materials Bowl

Material Advantage chapters are invited to participate in the TMS Materials Bowl, held each year at the TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition. Chapters select a team of two-to-four chapter members to represent their school in a materials-themed knowledge and trivia competition. The team may consist of undergraduate and graduate students, but each team can have no more than two graduate students. Teams compete in elimination rounds, a semi-final match, and championship game for cash prizes.

Prizes

Each member of the winning team receives $250, and the winning chapter receives $500.  The second place team receives $500 for the chapter.
