D: Quiz Competition Details

Each school entering a Quiz team must provide a teacher or parent (i.e. one per team) to act as a judge for another school’s team.

All teams will be able to race until the end.

Winning: The winning team has the highest score. If two teams have the same score then the fastest team wins. This will decrease the need for tie breakers.

Scoring: To discourage students from guessing, the following points system will be used:

Correct solution on the first attempt scores 3 pointsCorrect solution on the second attempt scores 2 pointsCorrect solution on the third or subsequent attempts scores 1 point A question passed in scores 0 points.

Timing: 45 MinutesAll teams will have the opportunity to race until the end. There will no longer be any stopping of the clock. Timing is still important because if there are two teams with the same score, the fastest will win.
