Rules - Fri

Format/Schedule:
  • Essentially, this is a hybrid of the AACS and Spectacular style quizzes.
  • The Friday quiz will cover John 1-4 and 14-21. 
  • The morning will consist of placement/preliminary quizzes. Teams will then be split into three categories based on results (high, mid, low divisions).
  • Afternoon quizzes will be three "mini-tournaments" based on preliminary results with the winner of each category winning a team trophy.
  • Ten individual medals will be given to exceptional quizzers as well. 
Team Rosters:
  • Teams will have a maximum of 4 quizzers on the pads at a time. Teams can have fewer or more members on the team roster, but only four can quiz at a time.
  • There is no age limit or experience level for quizzers participating in the Friday tournament.
  • Quizzers must stay on the same team throughout the Friday competition.
  • Rosters can consist of members from the same ministry or different ministries. 
Questions/Scoring:
  • Each quiz will consist of twenty unique questions for three team quizzing.
    • Initial Errors will result in a same question tossup
    • No free questions will be asked if an error occurs on the tossup
  • Each team starts with 40 points, but every error is -10.
  • 20 points per correct answer; -10 points per error. 
  • Quiz outs = 4 answers per quizzer for quiz out (correct or incorrect, so be wary of errors).
  • A team is quizzed out after 12 answers, regardless of number of quizzers on team.
  • In the case of a tie after twenty questions, no tiebreaker question will be asked.
  • Time limitations 
    • There is no 10-second requirement to begin the answer
    • 30 seconds are given for the quizzer to complete the answer once he is recognized.
  • Time-outs
    • There are no time-outs given to the teams in these quizzes.
    • The quizmaster will give the score after questions five, ten, fifteen, and nineteen.
  • There are NO Challenges/Appeals in this event.

    • Answering a question when the quizzer's light is not lit. If his teammate's light is on, the quizmaster will give an error to either the bad jumper or aggressive answerer.
    • Talking while a regular question is being asked or while a quizzer is recognized.
    • A coach or quizzer speaking out during quizzing or trying to influence the decision of the quizmaster.
