About TBQ

 

Benefits

Bible Quiz offers you a chance to travel all over the country! You get to stay in hotels, meet new friend and build lifelong relationships. While quizzing, you will learn how to work as a team with other youth from your church as you compete against other teams from all over!

Many quizzers have been awarded significant scholarship amounts due to their involvement in Teen Bible Quiz. Above all, you will learn God’s word and develop a deeper relationship with Him. Thirty minutes per day is all that’s required to get started. Try it this season. You’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish!

 

Competition

Quizzers compete in regularly scheduled meets (every 6 weeks or so) against teams from other churches. A quiz match consists of 20 questions with values of 10, 20, or 30 points each. In a quiz match, two teams of up to 3 quizzers (with up to 3 substitutes) each sit at the quizzing table. Using an electronic quiz box system, each quizzer has their own quiz pad so they can “beat others to the buzzer” and earn the right to answer the question. The team with the higher amount of points wins the match and the individual scores are recognized as well. Additionally, an element of debate is introduced where teams can “contest” (challenge) the correctness of their answer or the answer of the other team.

Geography

With many teams all over the state, locations for competition are spread out at different churches, which reduces travel time to meets. Wherever your church home is, it’ll be easy to make it to meets.

 

Championship Division

Youth in grades 6-12 study the entirety of the material in a given season.. Competition tends to be more fast-paced and competitive. These students generally travel more than those in other divisions and are eligible for greater amounts of scholarships. This division ends competition at the National level.

Contender Division

Youth in grades 6-12 typically only study half of the book(s) in a given quiz season.. These teams compete at a more relaxed pace over a lesser amount of material. Ideal for younger or first-year quizzers, Contender division ends competition at the Regional level..

XP5 Division

All you need is 5 minutes a day to study - that’s what the “5” in XP5 stands for. This is the perfect gateway into TBQ for individuals who have never heard of quizzing or just don’t have too much time in their day for studying. Competition is very relaxed and typically covers around one quarter of the book(s) of a TBQ season. The XP5 division ends at the District level.
