District Finals @ Tomah - March 26
Posted 22 Mar, 2011 12:07 AM by Stephen
The final district quiz of the year is here! District Finals is this Saturday at Tomah. Here's what you need to know:
- Material is all of John (1-21).
- Contrary to my initial e-mail, we will start at the normal 10:00am time.
- Snacks will be provided at 9:15-9:45 in the morning before we start--doughnuts, coffee, and juice.
- We will be going out for lunch.
- Everyone should have registered for District Celebrate Life because District Finals is technically part of that. Even if you didn't, still come to Finals because we won't turn you away. Whether you registered for DCL or not, we do still need everyone to register here on this site so we have the appropriate counts and can create the QuizMachine files.
- Last chance for memory verse awards! Register for those as well.
- We will be selecting the district team(s) to represent us at Olivet for Regional Celebrate Life in May. Per the discussion at the last quiz, the plan is to take two teams as long as we have enough interest.
- Scholarships for Olivet will go to the top 3 quizzers and will be matched by Olivet (scholarships will be awarded at District Assembly):
- $500 for first place
- $250 for second place
- $125 for third place
- Some GPS units have trouble with the "County Highway ET" address, so it may be better to consider it as East Veterans Avenue, about half a mile east of the VA facility.
- I have the t-shirts! For those who signed up for one, bring $9 with you.
Quiz @ Green Bay - February 12

The next quiz is this Saturday, February 12, at Green Bay. Important notes:
- Material is John 1-17
- Lunch will be sloppy joes for $3 per person.
- Register for both the quiz and any memory verse sections that have been completed
Sterling Invitational
Posted 01 Jan, 2011 09:29 PM by Stephen
Registration for the Sterling Invitational is now open. Deadline for registration is February 6 (or when all available spots are filled--whichever comes first).
Why pretty much everyone should try to go:
- It's a really fun tournament
- It's not a long drive (Sterling is in NW Illinois, just off I-88 about an hour and a half straight south of Monroe, WI)
- There are experienced and novice divisions
- I plan our district schedule so we are on pace to be through the right material for this tournament
For more details and to register, see the Sterling website.

Posted 01 Jan, 2011 08:46 PM by Stephen
The next quiz is this coming Saturday, January 8, at Wausau. I haven't been there yet, but I believe most of us will need to park on the street as there isn't much parking space on the property.
The most important thing to note is the material being covered: John 10-14 (we will not be using questions from John 1-9 at this quiz). I like to provide this opportunity for new/prospective quizzers to be able to compete in the middle of the year without feeling behind. It also motivates the experienced quizzers to keep studying through some of the busiest months of the year as they can't rely on the chapters they have already studied.
Lunch is being planned. $5 for two hot dogs or spaghetti, chips, dessert, and pop/water.
I would appreciate it if everyone could register by Wednesday (January 5) this time, at least so we can get the number of teams and determine how many rooms are needed (and whether it will be 2- or 3-team quizzing), as well as what kind of/how many rounds we'll end the day with.
Remember to register any quizzers who have completed any of the memory verse sections.
