Bible Quiz Guidelines

Each church-school may enter 2 Bible Quiz teams per Division. Each team is required to have 3 students, male or female. No alternates will be allowed.

Each student will study the chosen passage to prepare for this event. The passage will be announced a few months before Convention.

The types of questions will be as follows:

1. People, places, or events found in the context
2. Clear contextual Bible teachings
3. Limited quotations of scripture

Examples of questions: (taken from Galatians)

1. What kind of world did God deliver us from? (clear contextual Bible teaching)
2. Why did Paul go to Jerusalem? (people, places, or events found in the context)
3. Quote Galatians 1:11 (limited quotation of Scripture)

Each game will consist of 21 questions, plus additional ones necessary to break a tie. To answer a question, a student must stand to his feet, be recognized by the Judge, and must then begin to answer the question within 10 seconds. His answer must be completed within 30 seconds.

If a student interrupts a question by standing, he must answer the question without hearing it read in its entirety.

When a question is answered incorrectly, the question will be read again, and the opposing team will then have the opportunity to give the proper response.

An individual will quiz out after answering 5 questions.

If a team feels that a question has been answered incorrectly, they may challenge the answer, and the Judge will then reconsider the answer and make a decision. All decisions made by the Judge are final.

Students may not consult with each other during the quiz. Doing so will result in a fault and the loss of 10 points.

Questions will be worth 1 point each. Unanswered questions will be thrown out and asked again during the tournament.

All quotations must be from the King James Version of the Bible only.
