NWMN Bible Quiz 24|25 Season Info:

This Season we will be dividing into 3 different levels of difficulty for teams. The A, B, and C.

• A1 Level–"Advanced"       A2 Level–"Returning Quizzers"

  • Will play by all the official National rules.

  • Each League Competition will add an additional 120 approx. questions until they are quizzing over the entire FactPak of 576 questions.

  • This division is for returning quizzers.

  • This is the only level that advances to Regional Finals and National Finals.

  • The A level will have two different tiers of difficulty with the best teams playing in A1, and the moderate teams in A2. Coaches will be allowed to initially place their kids in either A1 or A2. Kids Quizzing out nearly every match or teams with 13+ QPR (Questions Per Round) will be asked to bump up to A1. 

  • Quizouts will be at 6 questions with a bonus of 10 points. 

  • Trophies will be awarded to individuals and teams, but not at the Icebreaker.

• B Level–"First Years"

  • Is for first time quizzers, or quizzers who averaged less than 1.5 QPR last year.

  • Quotation Questions: the National Guidelines require the verse to be recited perfectly without repeating, adding, or changing a word. We reduce the difficulty so our beginners have a year of positive reinforcement to learn the scriptures. Quotes are only required to be given "in essence" meaning all the phrases and clauses, but the quizzer can use substitute word choices as long as they mean generally the same thing as the word in the verse. Also, the National Guidelines require the quizzer to give the complete reference for the verses quoted, but in Beginner the reference is optional (if they give the wrong verse reference before they correctly quoted the verse they must be called wrong).

  • The questions do not accumulate during the year, they will only do one Group of questions at a time without any review (at Network/District Finals they will cover 2 groups of questions: the first group covered for the year at the Icebreaker and the last group.)

  • Quizouts will be at 5 questions correct (instead of regulation 6), with a bonus of 10 points.

  • The rounds will ask the first 12 questions to only one team at a time, with equal matching point values. Questions 13-20 will be asked competitively where the teams will have to beat each other to the buzzer.

  • Medallions will be awarded to individuals and trophies to teams.

• XP-B Experience Beginner Level–"Younglings"

  • Is for quizzers who are​ struggling in Beginner level and are generally not interrupting questions. New coaches should start their quizzers 7yo and younger at this level. Although many 7yo will be perfectly capable of quizzing in the Beginner Level.

  • The Beginner Level Quotation Question rules will apply. 

  • The rounds will ask the first 16 questions to only one team at a time, with equal matching point values. Question 17-20 will be asked to both teams: 1-20pt and 3-10pt questions in random order will be asked competitively where the teams will have to beat each other to the buzzer.

  • No fouls will be assessed. 

  • Quizouts will be at 4 questions instead of 6, with a bonus of 10 points.

  • No 30pt Questions will be covered in XP-B

  • Certificates of accomplishment will be given to kids based on the number of questions they answered correctly. (QPR)

    • 1.5 QPR (rounding down) will be the Bronze​ Achievement Award

    • 2.5 QPR will be the Silver Achievement Award

    • 3.5 QPR will be the Gold Achievement Award
