Written Test

The test must be completed online in advance by midnight Thursday. Here is the link (this is the same link you might have also received from National Bible Bowl). It will ask for your name, group (enter either SE Louisville or SE Crestwood), and league (Kentucky – Southeast). The test is closed book, 100 questions, and you have 20 minutes to take it in one sitting.

Anyone who receives Gold Tier (90 or above) on the test will receive a large candy. The top 10 will be recognized during the awards at the end. The test winner will receive a coupon for free food at Culver’s.

Competition

We compete in classrooms in the ED wing of the 2nd floor after the opening meeting – game rounds are scheduled to begin at 1:45pm but we sometimes start a little early if we’re ready. Division 1 and Division 2 will both play 5 rounds. Division 1 will also play a quick round of King of the Hill at the end of their rounds (we’ll teach the kids how to play if they aren’t familiar yet). Awards for the day will immediately follow back in room ATCR 206.

Family and friends are welcome to attend and encourage our players! If you are a parent following along, I encourage you to download the score keeping app so you can learn to follow along through that. In your app store, search for “Bible Quizzer” and it’s the one made by Bible Quiz Shop. Within the app, click “purchase” (although it’s free!) and find the Bible Bowl Score-Pro Scorekeeping Module near the bottom.

Quote Bee

Immediately following the rounds is an optional Quote Bee held in the same room as your last game for students to test their knowledge of Memory Verses. Make it past 2 rounds with prompts (the verse reference plus the clue) and 2 rounds without prompts (verse reference only) to achieve Gold Tier.

Gold Tier winners are also invited to compete in a final Quote Bee back in the main room before awards start to determine a winner. We’ll start with a few Memory Verses by reference only, and if anyone is still standing, we’ll jump to ANY verse by reference.

All Gold Tier winners will receive a large candy. The final Quote Bee winner will receive a coupon for free food at Culver’s.

Closing Notes:

Be sure to let your coach know ASAP if your student won’t be attending so we can make any team adjustments as needed. Casual clothes are fine for this competition. Reach out with any additional questions! Thank you!

Competition

We compete in classrooms in the ED wing of the 2nd floor after the opening meeting – game rounds begin at 1:45pm. Division 1 will play 5 regular rounds plus an Individual Tournament just for fun (this is an “every man for himself” style game where students try to be the first to get to 50 points in their room and then advance forward, until we have one winner. We’ll teach the kids how to play on the spot!). Division 2 will play 7 regular rounds. Awards for the day will immediately follow back in room ATCR 206.

• Please note that if your student is not going to Nationals, then this will be his last tournament of the season and he should not attend any more practices.

Be sure to have your student take his or her test online by Thursday at midnight. It is closed book and 20 minutes long. Here is the link: BLOCK 3 TEST

League will again include round robin and individual tournament for both divisions, as well as the quote bee.

• Remember that for those who make it past prelims in their rooms, we’ll have a “final” quote bee before awards that will open the range up to memory verses from the whole text, not just block 3. If anyone is still standing after that, we’ll open it up to all verses (not just memory verses) from block 3.

Hope to see you Sunday!
