Remember the rules!

This coming weekend - at Districts - we'll be quizzing with strict rules. And we'll likely be doing the same tonight to get the team used to them. Here is a reminder about the most important ones.
  • You get 30 seconds for a regular question. You get 45 seconds for a finish-the-verse question or multiple part question.
  • There are three ways to get bonus points: (1) Quiz Out with no wrong questions, (2) Have 4 people on the team get at least one answer correct, (3) Have 5 people on the team get at least one answer correct.
  • Quiz Outs are 4 correct for Lower Division, and 5 correct for Upper Division, or 3 incorrect in either Division.
  • Each team gets two time-outs during a quiz (30 seconds each) which can only be called by the Coach.
  • Always finish the question, if the quizmaster does not! Reference questions must be completed, as questions. Situation questions must be completed as quotes.
  • Every team must have an active Captain. The Captain can call for a Contest and present it. If the current Captain quizzes out, the Coach must designate a new one.
If you have any questions about the rules, bring them out at practice tonight!
