Scholastic Bowl is open to any student, 9-12. Intramurals are held in the Fall. Occasional team practices occur in the fall, and begin running in earnest after intramurals are over. The season runs throughout the winter and spring.

Scholastic Bowl emphasizes all areas of academic knowledge, focusing on quick recall, as teams attempt to buzz in to answer questions. We compete in several important competitions. The most involved of these is the Rotary Scholastic Bowl League, a league comprised of teams from Northeastern PA, New Jersey, and New York. Delaware Valley has been a frequent qualifier for the National Championships, having advanced to the National tournament in nine of the last ten years. In 1997, DV took 15th place at the National Championships in New Orleans. In 2002, DV tied for 11th place. DV has made the "Sweet 16" at Nationals four times in the last 11 years.

In addition to competing interscholastically, the Scholastic Bowl program hosts intramural play for all interested high school students in grades 9-12. This intramural league involves teams of three to five students each, competing in matches held after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Anyone interested should contact Mr. DeVizia.

Other major activities include competing in the Pennsylvania Academic Competition, and some computer-based competitions, including the Twenty Questions Internet Competition from Questions Unlimited, the organization associated with the National Academic Championship.

As a service project, the team also conducts annual Scholastic Bowl tournaments for fifth graders in Delaware Valley schools. The Varsity team has also played host to Junior Varsity (9-10 grade) teams from area schools in the Spring. Team members serve as registrants, scorekeepers, timekeepers, and in various other roles.
