Posted: Thu Jan 18, 2007 12:34 pm
The University of Georgia Quiz Bowl Team is pleased to announce our Spring Quizbowl Tournament, to be held on April 21st on the UGA campus in Athens, GA.
FORMAT: 10 one-line, pyramidal questions followed by either a 15 question worksheet or 10 question lightning round (the team is still deciding). The last round will then be 10 multi-sentence tossups with bonuses. These bonuses will be bounce back, meaning that if one team misses a bonus, the other team will have an opportunity to answer. The distribution of categories is as follows:
4 Literature
4 Science
4 Social Studies
2 Fine Arts
2 Mythology/Religion
1 Current Event/World Affairs
1 Popular Culture
1 Math Computation
1 Social Science (This will include economics, psychology, and others.)
We will evenly distribute categories between the first and third rounds so that there are always two short literature questions, two long literature questions, two short science questions, and so forth.
COSTS: The cost will be $60 for a school’s first team and $40 for each additional team from a school. There are also $5 discounts for each buzzer system brought (up to a $10 discount) and a $5 discount for any reader or worker brought. A set of questions can also be purchased for $10. Lunch will be available to purchase in the interest of speeding up the tournament and a hospitality room will also be available for the coaches, workers, and any other adults.
For a copy of the registration form, lodging and dining options, or any other information, please e-mail the team at [email protected] or visit our site at http://www.uga.edu/quizbowl/. Hope to see everyone in April!
