November Meet Remembered

What a great day our November meet was!  A little bit of snow after everyone arrived, an absolutely wonderful host church, and a great day of quizzing.

Thank you Ravenna, from teams to members of the church gave your Saturday to bless a bunch of kids with an opportunity to quiz and some great food.  I hope you were as blessed to be there as much as you blessed our teams, it was an honor to be there.

Thank you teams and coaches, for continuing to train new officials and especially new Quizmasters.  You probably noticed, but I did ask for any Quizmasters at the last minute, because not only did we have enough on Friday to schedule to quiz but I had extra Quizmasters on Saturday that were ready if needed.  Thank you for training, THANK YOU OFFICIALS for being such a huge part of our meets and I'm sure the ongoing practices at your churches.

Looking ahead to our next meet, we have a bit of an extra break, but both B and C leagues are adding questions for the next meet, so while you do so enjoy a Christmas break from Quiz meets, don't take one completely from Quiz.  We look forward to coming back in January for a great meet and seeing each quizzer and team improving their experience at the meet.

Our January meet will be hosted at New Life in Poland and our February meet will be hosted at Celebration Church in Akron.  Links at the top right will give you links to direction pages for these churches.

Technological Advances

JBQ has advancements in two technological (perhaps geeky) areas of life.

1.  Gospel Publishing has copies of the JBQ programs available again after I'm not sure how long they've been out of stock, Click HERE to check it out.  This is still version 1.5, which is still the current version that was out.  The new version (2.0 likely) is still being worked on for release.

2.  JBQ has arrived on the iPhone.  If you search JBQuiz (or JBQ) you will find a program that was released on Tuesday.  it has all of the JBQ questions, which can be accessed by point value or as in a match, it also has both end of question 5 second timers and 30 second answer timers built in.  However, this initial version does not allow you to search or designate particular questions for review, just generates from the whole set.  Still, it may be of help and there should be updates that hopefully could address those areas.  So if you have an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, there ya go!  If you have an old one you'd like to give away, let me know!  :)
