Q: What is the schedule for the tournament?

A: Team check-in is Friday at 5:00 p.m.  We will have an opening ceremony and prayer, followed by several quiz rounds in our preliminary divisions.  On Saturday morning, we will finish our round robin and take a short break and take a group photograph while the scores are tabulated.

As soon as the teams are placed into their final divisions, the medal rounds will begin.  Platinum and Gold divisions will quiz a few rounds, then eat lunch first and go back to quizzing while the Silver and Bronze divisions eat their lunch.  All divisions should finish quizzing at about the same time.

All Bible Master quizzers may participate in the head-to-head competition that will take place while the scores are tabulated and verified.  After the conclusion of the Bible Master championship, our awards ceremony will begin.

Here is a more detailed schedule.
