QUIZ FORMAT (click)

	Awana Quizzing will incorporate three basic formats: Multiple Choice, Speed and Team Quizzing.
	TEAM QUIZZING (click) During Team Quizzing, the entire team,1-3 members, (including alternates) participate. 6-10 questions will be asked. The teams are allowed 30 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.)
	SPEED QUIZZING (click) 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 (click) 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 raising 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.)
