Rules

We will be using AACS rules throughout the tournament with the following additions/exceptions:

1. Teams

Schools or Churches may have more than one team but quizzers may not switch teams once quizzing has begun.

2. Questions

All Quizzes of the day will end after 20 correctly answered questions or 25 regular/tossup questions have been asked—whichever comes first. The questions are designed to cover all of the chapters in the Passage. Included in the questions for each round will be 4 quote or finish-the-verse questions. Free Questions will be randomly selected questions and may include quote or finish the verse questions.

3. Substitutions

The number of substitutions in any quiz is unlimited; however, substitutions can only be made during a timeout (2 per team per quiz) or for replacement of a quizzer who has quizzed out. This means that there will be no substitutions made after question 17 has been asked (except for quiz-outs).

4. Seeding

Friday Night Round-Robin seeding will be randomly assigned. If we have 12 teams the teams will be randomly numbered 1-12 and then entered into a pre-existing bracket.

Saturday (Elimination) Seeding will be based on a team's record during the Friday night "Round-Robin" matches. The High-Win team will walk away from each match with 10 points, the Middle-Win team with 7 and the Low team with only 1.

Ties in total points will be decided based on the following criteria:

1. Least number of losses
2. Greatest number of High Wins
3. Total of Team Scores for All Matches
4. Head to Head for those 2 teams that still tied
