Changes to the C-league Question Schedule

The C-league question sequence has been changed and is now the same question sequence as last year and goes along with the same sequence for A & B leagues from last year as well.

October and November meets 

o They will quiz over questions 1-72, 289-336, & 481-504 

• January and February 

o They will quiz over questions 1-144, 289-384, & 481-528

This is the opposite of the previous post, this change was just announced today.  We are sorry for any confusion and hope that this has been caught early enough for teams to change their practice plans.

Recap of the Great Lakes Regional

The Great Lakes Regional has come and gone and it was a great event.  The top 20 teams from the Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Appalachia Districts came together and quizzed 2 days, (19 rounds! yipes).

   Ohio had all four of it's Top-4 go and participate in the meet looking for Nationals Qualification.  What they found was a very competitive group.  The Great Lakes Region has the honor of being the toughest Region in the country, based on last year's Nationals Results.  (Teams from our region placed higher cumulatively than teams from any other region.)

   But Ohio did not disappoint and what we ended up with was all 4 of our Top-4 placing high enough to qualify for Nationals with Dayspring (Bowling Green) taking 3rd in the whole tournament!   So we say congratulations to Dayspring, Poland, Cincinnati 1st, & Destiny (Dayton) on a great tournament.  You have honored the churches and teams of Ohio with your great play and greater examples of sportsmanship and Christ-like attitudes.  Click HERE for full Regional Results

   As the Holy Spirit leads, if you would remember these teams in prayer and lift them up, that the rest of their expenses and preparation for the National Meet (June 10-12).

Registration closes March 12th

Remember, State Competition Registration closes in 1 week on March 12th.

A point correction for our B-League totals due to 2 quizzers being swapped on the score sheet has changed our Top-10 for the B-league for the Feb. Meet.  This has led to a tie at 3rd place, and the following quizzers moving up one in the standings.  This means that we unfortunately did not get to properly recognize Nate Heath, our 10th place quizzer for February's meet.  Congratulations Nate!

Steps to State Meet:
1) Decide on who's going?
2) Register your team(s)
3) Make your reservations for hotel and travel


1) Decide Who's Going?
--A and B league quizzers are eligible for the State Meet.  C-league quizzers in 1st grade are eligible upon the ruling of the team's coaching staff, and must move to a B or A league team.  There is no C-league quiz level at the State Meet.

2) Register Your Team(s)
Registration is open and ongoing for teams.  Here's a few things that you'll need when registering:
a. go to the Ohio Ministry Network's website for JBQ and click State Meet Registration
b. registration is online with a credit card only, $55 per team.
c. Contact information for team and coach needed
d. Quizzers, age, years quizzing, grade and age
e. If quizzers have earned any seal awards (Achiever, Discover, Searcher, or Master) during this season (or since the 2009 State Meet), mark that on registration for each quizzer.  If quizzers have reached the almost impossible, the impossible seal or reached the 107 club, please email Becky HERE to giver her the quizzers' name and information.
f. 2 Officials are required for each team.  Their names, positions that they are able to hold and number of years of experience are all areas to fill in.
**To ensure the very best quizzing for each of the levels of quiz, and to ensure that we place officials into levels of quiz that they are prepared for, we are asking that each official take the online training through the website.   This takes about 30-45 minutes and will help officials to be as best prepared for situations they will face in quiz matches.  NOTE: If your officials have taken this earlier this season, they do not need to retake it.  Officials training log-in information is found on the ohioag.org/jbq page directly below the State Meet Information.

3) Make Your Hotel and Travel Arrangements.
