It’s sort of like the SAT’s, only a heck of a lot more fun.

Wednesday @ 6:30 p.m.

Friday @ 6:00 p.m.

Saturday @ 4:00 p.m.

This year each school will appear on the program twice. The scores from each appearance will be totaled and the nine schools with the highest composite score will advance to the play-offs.

All students appearing on the program will receive two tickets to a performance by the Southwest Shakespeare Company. This is the second year the theater company has offered its support.

All team members will also be receiving a very special congratulatory letter from the President of the United States.

Dave Tunell will once again man the podium, firing the tough questions to our Arizona school's
best and brightest.

Brainstorm is sponsored by the Tribune Varsity Extra and airs Wednesday’s at 6:30 on Cox 7. The program also repeats Fridays at 6pm and Saturdays at 4pm.

Brainstorm is a "locally produced", half-hour high school quiz program.

Each show features three teams of three players, representing three different high schools, answering questions based on a typical high school curriculum.

In some rounds teams compete against each other using a buzzer system to earn the opportunity to answer questions. One of these rounds, (the final round) also includes a countdown clock.

In other rounds teams have the opportunity to answer their own “packet” of questions. These questions may include visual support in the form of a picture, a work by Renoir for example, or by on screen clues, (chyron-generated) like an anagram.

Points earned for correct answers and penalties for incorrect answers vary each round.

The team earning the most points will return and play in a semi-final game with the opportunity to advance to the championship.
