QUIZ FORMAT
Awana Quizzing will incorporate three basic formats:
Multiple Choice, Speed and Team Quizzing.
TEAM QUIZZING
During Team Quizzing, the entire team,1-3 members,
(including alternates) participate.
6-10 questions will be asked. The teams are allowed 45
seconds to "huddle" quietly to come up with one answer.
This answer is then written on a dry erase board and
held up when called for by the Quizmaster. Correct
answers are 20 points. (No penalty points for incorrect
answers.)
General Information
SPEED QUIZZING
One or two quizzers from each team will compete with
at least 10 questions asked. Correct answers are 10
points. Incorrect answers minus 5 points.
In the Speed Quiz, the first Quizzer responding is asked
to give the answer. If no Quizzer responds in 10
seconds, time is called and the next question given.
From the time the Quizmaster acknowledges the clubber
and steps up to the microphone, there are 10 seconds to
begin & 30 seconds to complete the answer.
If a Quizzer responds before the question is completed,
the clubber must give a specific & correct answer.
Quizzers answering 2 questions correctly "quiz-out" &
receive 5 bonus points. Alternates may be substituted.
Competitors having 2 wrong answers are ineligible to
answer additional questions. Another Quizzer, however,
may be substituted.
MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUIZZING
10 Multiple-Choice questions
will be asked. After reading
the question, the Quizmaster
will say "select your answer",
followed by the command
"paddles-up" with the clubbers
rai sing their paddles
simultaneously. Quizzers raising paddles late are
disqualified from that question. After the command
"paddles up", clubbers may not change answers.
During the reading of the question, quizzers must look
down at their paddles. Looking any other place is an
automatic disqualification from that question.
Quizzers are awarded 10 points per correct answer.
(No penalty for incorrect answers.)
ALTERNATES
‚
Alternates must be from the same team as the one forwhom he/she is substituted.
‚
Substituting an alternate is not a "time-out".‚

during that format of the quiz
‚
Substitutions may be made only by the coach callingout "substitute" to the Quizmaster.
