Part 3: Setup and

Sorry I haven't posted in forever. Almost nine months. I have been posting in my AoPS blog, the link to which will be included...eventually. Hm.

So. There are two teams in every team round, generally three people per team, although it is not unheard of to have a two-man team if the quizzers are good enough, or four people, and the extra would be a substitute. More on that later. The quizzers are seated in a row of three chairs (three people, three chairs, right?) which are connected to an electronic box by jump seats, small rectangular pressure-sensitive pads so that, when one person jumps, the little LEDs light up, indicating the order in which the quizzers jumped.

Scoring:

There are generally 15 questions per team round, 20 for individuals. Whoever gets the question correct earns themselves (or the team) 20 points. The quizmaster will start reading the question, and when he or she is finished, the quizzers will try to get up first. If, however, someone jumps before the question is complete, they have "pre-jumped" and must complete the question in 20 seconds. (Whenever a quizzer makes an answer, that person has 20 seconds to do so.) 

That's basically Bible quizzing, at least how the Free Methodists do it. There are, I understand, variations on the rules, as evidenced by the videos I found on YouTube. Hmm. I'll try to get the link in.
