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!
