Material Advantage chapters are invited to participate in the TMS Materials Bowl, a materials-themed knowledge and trivia competition held each year at the TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition. To compete, each school's Material Advantage chapter can assemble a team of four chapter members to represent their school. Only one team per school is permitted, and each team may include no more than one graduate student. Teams compete in one elimination round, and then a championship game is held for cash prizes.
