Updated Rules Changes

As I rushed into this season as a last minute coordinator, I didn't take time to become familiar with the way jbq has changed, especially how the rules are being applied these days. So, having returned from the Crabtree Invitational, I now realize that there are some things that we need to change in order to catch up to the rest of the quizzing world. So, in March...

1) Quizmasters need to make a decision on each answer given. In the past, quizmasters who had a hard time making up their own mind could ask the judges to rule on the answer. Now, we are asking the quizmaster to make a decision, no matter how hard. This allows the coach to ask for a judges decision from the independent decision of the quizmaster.

2) Question sets will follow the national guidelines. That means that questions may be repeated throughout the meet though not in the same match. so, don't assume that because you have already heard "what do we mean when we say that God is Omnipresent" in the last match that you won't hear it in the next one.

3) A 5 point foul is assessed when a coach uses a point of order to attempt to change the ruling on a question. Point of orders are procedural, requests for judges ruling are for correction.

I think that I have gone almost three years without requesting an appeal (or judges ruling). This weekend I did it three times. (won them all). I find that the new rule works well and keeps the game moving.

It's a go for this morning, but use good judgment!

Expect the meet to start a bit late this morning as some teams are traveling slowly. I-94 is snow covered, but not ice covered. that being said, there are a few cars that have put it into the ditch. According to the latest weather.com map, the snow quits on the east side of Ann Arbor.

We are a go for today, but some teams can not come today because of conditions in thier area.

Drive carefully!

The January Meet

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I can only image the tremendous amount of studying that must have taken place during the holiday break! Below I have posted the November statistics as well as the round robin for next month. There are some things you should note:

1. There is an achiever league and a searcher league in the experienced division. Simply put, I took the top half of the teams and put them in the achiever league. This isn't a mandatory move, and if a team prefers to move up or down, that will be arranged. You will note that Grass Lake #1 is in the achiever division. This occured because one of the higher scoring quizzers was moved from the #2 team to the #1 team. Greater Lansing has also made such a move. Churches are allowed to reconfigure their teams beginning with the January meet. However, once the teams are set in January, they must remain in the same configuration February and March as well.

2. Quizzing begins at 9:30.

3. The meet is being held at Bethesda Christian Church. Make sure you give Trish and Keith Farris a warm thank you for their hospitality.

4. All stats begin with the January meet. 160, 120, and quiz out club achievments do carry over. Top awards (high quiz outs, top score, win-loss, etc..) begin with the January meet.

See you at Bethesda!
