Oregon Battle of the Books

Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) is a trivia-style reading competition for students in the U.S. state of Oregon. Students in grades 3 to 12 compete against one another by answering a series of questions about a list of books they are given at the beginning of the year. The list is around 15 books long, and questions are asked of any of the books for that age division in the style of Jeopardy!, an American quiz show.

The preliminary tournament starts off in pool play style tournaments, then the next round is in the style of stepladder or bracket play. Students can choose to participate in the local, district, regional, and state level of the program.
