Contender (Novice teams) will quiz over John 1-8 with questions by Michael Pearson. Opening service will begin in the Factory auditorium (same as last year) in the main building at 9:00am Friday. Teams should check in no later than 8:45am. Rooms will open at 8:30am for teams to warm-up. We expect to finish around 3:00pm on Saturday. We are working on a fun event for all the teams to attend after quizzing on Saturday and will let the teams know prior to the tournament.
We are offering numerous scholarships and will announce the specifics of these scholarships prior to the March time frame. We will also offer a One-on-One competition over the applicable material for the various divisions with prizes for the winning quizzers.
