Greetings to all who love quizzing, and find themselves on the other side of the age bracket:

It's time again for some adult quizzing competition! After considering the input from several interested people, and in an attempt to minimize the disadvantage for those who did not attend the 2-on-2 competition in September, we will be competing over chapters 4-8 of Matthew. (We hope that does not upset too many people who were preparing for 1-5).

The only restriction to competing is that you must be ineligible to quiz in the normal quiz league. That is, you must be over 21, or married. The reason for this rule is just to encourage quizzers to stay in teen quizzing as long as possible, so we will also allow college students, under age 21, to take part, provided they have already chosen to be out of quizzing for a year.

The intent of this tournament is to bring the old teams back together, or to allow others who have an interest in quizzing to enjoy a weekend of fellowship and competition. We have received a few inquiries about combining people from different churches to form a team. This is usually because there are one or two people from one church who would like to compete, but not enough to fill out a team. We would like to encourage as many people as possible to be involved in this tournament, so we would expect that some combining will be necessary. If a person wants to quiz, and does not have a team at their church, they may join with a team from a nearby church. However, we want to avoid the temptation to "stack" teams. Please work with us on this. This should not be construed as an opportunity to pull in all of the best quizzers that were ever in your district and put together a "super-team". Let us know if you have any questions on this.

You also may quiz with only two people on a team.

We are looking forward to seeing you on November 5 & 6 at Open Door Missionary Church in Sandusky, MI. Please return the registration by October 20, 2004 Let us know if you have any questions.

Also, please complete the Housing Request Form, and send it to Nancy Tezak at the address listed, if you want housing with the Open Door church families. Alternatively, there are some phone numbers listed for nearby motels, if that is your preference.

ABOUT THE QUOTE-OFF

Quotes will come from the official quote list for teen quizzing:
Chapter 4: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Chapter 5: 3-16, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48

There will be one warm-up round of FTV's,
followed by two rounds of quotes allowing correction.
Then quotes must be word perfect, with no opportunity to correct, until all but 8 quoters have been eliminated.
We will then go to the benches, where normal rules will apply for this phase and the final 1-on-1 phase.
