The format of the quiz was similar to 2012.
The competition will consist of three elements:
Bible Quiz - the theme this year is Miracles
Each company can enter any number of teams consisting of three junior boys, no more than one of whom may be a third year.
The highest score achieved by any team from a company will count towards the Battalion Bible Quiz Trophy
All questions will all be set using the Good News translation.
It is a team quiz and all the teams will have the same questions and be required to appoint a scribe who can record their agreed answer.
The quiz will consist of 5 rounds of 6 questions, with a possible 2 marks available for each question.
The quiz will include a general Bible knowledge round, a spelling round, and a number of rounds based on the following passages:
Bible Reading
One boy from each company will read the set passage out loud, without a microphone, as if reading in church.
The boy can be from any team entered by the company.
They must read from a copy of the Good News Bible; use of a printed sheet is not permitted.
The reader should introduce their reading, for example, "This reading is Mark chapter 10, verses 46 to 52." The introduction should be done from memory.
A maximum of 10 marks are available. The judges will be listening for the following things:
Set passages for reading:
Mime
One team (of 3 boys) from each company will perform a mime based the set passage. The team can be made up of any 3 boys from the company, and could include boys who did not take part in the quiz.
The mime should last no longer than 2 minutes
No spoken words, sound effects or props are permitted (note: this is a change from 2012).
A maximum of 10 marks are available. The judges will be looking for the following things:
There will be a 2 point penalty for a team that uses any sort of aide-memoire to help them perform the mime.
Set passage for mime:
The points scored by a company will be calculated by adding the highest score achieved by any of their teams in the quiz, the score for the reading and the score for the mime.
Would all companies please confirm their attendance and the number of teams they are entering OR OTHERWISE to Andrew Burchell by Wednesday 20th March.
This is the last year that Amos Salisbury is setting the quiz, so it would be great to have a really good turnout for his last year as Battalion Chaplain. You can't complain that you haven't had enough notice!
