WRITER’S TIPS & BREAKDOWN

Championship Questions written by Danielle Mori

Danielle Mori’s Writer’s Tips

General points:

·         Most types of 10s will be of similar difficulty throughout the season.

o   A few select types of 10s will ramp up in difficulty at the District, Regional, and National levels (i.e. the chapter required as the answer early in the season and the verse reference later in the season).

·         The locator in the introductory remarks—whether blind (no location given), from a chapter, or from a section—will typically correlate to the interruption point and the length of the question.

·         Most types of questions have a predictably anticipated interruption point; Scripture text questions, however, are less predictable and may have a much later interruption point.

Leagues:

·         League questions start to reveal the pattern of types of questions and interruption points for the year.

·         Quizzers would do well to focus on quoting the material perfectly, especially bulleted verses, and learning the verse references for all verses.  All point values of questions will use verse references in some of the question types.

·         With the exception of lists, most 20-point questions will require part of a long verse or an entire short verse, and most 30-point questions will require all or most of a long verse.

·         There will be two Application Questions per set in Leagues 1-4.  Only the Application Questions covering the current material for that meet will be asked.

·         A small number of questions will ask for an answer or answers coming from more than one verse, but the answers and difficulty will be comparable to questions asking for only one verse.

Districts:

·         Difficulty will start to increase at Districts, with some multi-verse 20- and 30-point questions and some concordance questions (i.e. Essence question. 2-part answer. From separate verses of Acts chapter 1. Give in essence the verses in which John the Baptist is named).

·         Quizzers will do well if they can quote the material, recite most intra-chapter chapter analysis in 30 seconds, and begin studying some of the 2- and 3-part concordance answers.

Regionals:

·         Difficulty will take another step up at Regionals, primarily in length of answer. 

·         Continuing to study the concordance, chapter analysis, and quoting the material consistently will help the quizzers perform well.

Nationals:

·         National-level questions, especially the 20s and 30s, will reflect the most difficult questions of the year.  Quizzers will need to be able to quote the material perfectly and quickly.

·         Nearly all 20- and 30-pointers will be asked from more than one verse, and many questions will require that quizzers have studied the concordance and chapter analysis beforehand.
