BATTLE DAY
- Teams will sit in a circle with their
coach until after introductions. After the introductions,
coaches will be asked to rotate to a different team for the upcoming "battle".
Coaches will now be "monitors" for the team they have rotated to.
- The writer for each team
will have a pad and a pen. It is their responsibility to record the answer and author's
last name for each question and hand it to the monitor at the 30 second call.
The writer must stop writing at the 30 second call whether their answer
is complete or not. Correct spelling is required for the author's name only,
but the monitor and/or moderator must be able to understand the word
or words in the answer even if not spelled correctly.
- The team's speaker(s) will take
turns going to the microphone to answer questions. The rotation
of teams will be established
by the moderator. The moderator will accept the answer given or
give the correct answer if the team's answer is incorrect.
The moderator will also announce any other acceptable answers at that time.
The monitor will then mark the total score for that answer on
the bottom of the answer
sheet and hand it to the runner who will take all answer sheets to the
scorekeeper. The monitor should add the score to the
running total he/she is keeping for that team.
The scorekeeper will post the scores for all teams on the screen.
Monitors should check these scores during breaks to make sure
that the score on the screen matches the running total for your team.
- There will be 21 questions
for each battle.
- There will be a 5 minute break
after questions 7 and 14. There could also be a 5 minute break after
question 21 if there is a tie at the end of the battle and
other circumstances warrant a need for a "Challange".
-
Challenges can be made at the 5 minute breaks if your team thinks their
answer is correct, but did not receive any points.
Challenges may be made for your team's answers only
and must be made by one team member only
(not the whole team and NOT the coach or parents!)
You may search for the challenge as a team, but when making the actual
challange to the moderator it must be one team member only. If the
team member can prove to the moderator by using a battle book
that his/her answer is correct, the moderator will announce the
correction and the score change before continuing the next round.
If a coach or parent or more than one team member approaches the
moderator with a challenge, that challenge will be automatically
eliminated and no points will be awarded.
If a team has a challenge after question 21, that team will be given
5 minutes to prove its challenge only if the score change would
result in a different outcome of the battle. NO challenges will
be accepted after a battle has been completed and preparations
are being made for the next battle to begin!!
-
After 21 questions the team(s) in Preliminary Battles with the most points
will go on to Semi Finals later in the day. In the event of a tie, the
teams will answer tie-breaking questions until there is
a winner. There will be 5 tie-breaking questions for each round
necessary. After 21 questions in each Semi Final Battle, the team with
the most points will go on to the Grand Battle. (2 teams total).
After 21 questions in the Grand Battle, the team with the
most points will be declared the winner.
