BECON-TV Kicks off its 11th Season of School Duel All-New Tournament Structure Follows COVID-19 Safety Guidelines
March 2, 2021
Beginning Thursday, March 4, 2021, at 8 p.m. BECON-TV launches its 11th season of School Duel, presented by sponsors Chick-fil-A and BrightStar Credit Union.
School Duel is an exciting academic quiz show, designed to reward and highlight intellectual student talent in South Florida's high schools, and serve as a positive educational tool for students and teachers.
This year’s season features 14 Broward County Public Schools teams, including McArthur High School, Everglades High School, Sheridan Technical High School, Cooper City High School, Miramar High School, West Broward High School, Cypress Bay High School, Western High School, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Monarch High School, Boyd Anderson High School, McFatter High School, Coral Glades High School and Pompano Beach High School. Schools from Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties also joined this year’s season of School Duel.
To accommodate COVID-19 safety guidelines while keeping the show fun, the game structure has been modified from a single-elimination tournament with an overall champion, to a total of 10 individual matches and winners.
The players on the winning teams will each receive Chick-Fil-A vouchers for an entire year, and the runner-up teams will receive prizes from sponsors, including cash awards for each student, courtesy of BrightStar Credit Union and Publix Supermarkets. All participants receive School Duel trophies from EDCO Awards & Specialties.
School Duel airs at 8 p.m. every Thursday, starting March 4, 2021, on BECON-TV, through the last show on May 6, 2021. Each week’s episode is rebroadcasted at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
