The Texas Valsalva Bowl returns to the 2009 Texas EMS Conference, this

time with cash prizes!

.... and another chance for a Texas team to claim National honors. The

2008 National Championship team from MedStar Fort Worth will again be

competing for the top honors.

The Valsalva Bowl is a fast-paced quiz contest, loosely based on the old

GE College Bowl television quiz show of the 1960's. In the Valsalva

Bowl, teams of three EMS personnel will compete in a game of skill,

knowledge, speed, and luck. Members must be ECA, EMT, EMT-intermediate,

paramedic, nurse or physician, licensed in Texas and involved in Texas

EMS.

The state competition will be held November 22nd in the Omni Fort Worth

Hotel, 7:30 Sunday evening. Runners up receive $50.00 cash prizes, while

first place winners will receive trophies, a $100 cash prize and a

chance to compete against top teams from other states the next afternoon

in the National Valsalva Bowl Championship.

Make Texas Proud! Come show us your stuff... compete against the BEST IN

EMS! Only the first 16 entries will be accepted, and the ranks are

filling fast, so don't miss this opportunity to prove that you and your

team are the TOP DOGS IN EMS, in Texas and nationwide! Grab two smart

friends, come up with a catchy team name, coordinated team shirts, and

Even if you don't win, you can bet that you'll LEARN SOMETHING!
