Knowledge Bowl Champions

In 1979, Lakes Country Service Cooperative purchased the rights to

“Rural Knowledge Bowl”. The first year involved nine teams from that region.

Over the years, more Minnesota Service Cooperatives across the state joined,

and the name was legally changed to Knowledge Bowl. Once a statewide meet began,

there were still several changes--most notably a 2-tier system that still exists today.
