2026 Einstein Bowl

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, CNP proudly brings to you the 2026 Trivia Tournament which has come back to Central PA!!!

Big update for 2026: thanks to a larger venue, there will be no regional tournaments this year.

Teams may now have up to 8 players. Registration is $40 per team and closes Saturday, July 18, 2026. Teams that already purchased tickets are still registered.

how qualifying works:

If 60 or fewer teams register, every registered team advances to the Einstein Bowl.

If more than 60 teams register, qualifying scores will be tracked at weekly General Trivia games from August 2 through August 29, and the top 60 teams will be invited.

Only weekly General Trivia games count toward qualifying, to keep things fair across all CNP venues.

The winning team will be added to the new Einstein Bowl Trophy, displayed at the home venue they represented.

Cash prizes will be awarded at the Einstein Bowl!
