"A" League questions will be simple and straightforward with early interruption points. 10 point complete answers will typically have 7 words or less and 20s & 30s will be from just a single verse. I will attempt to progress from more essence questions to more quotation questions as we move throughout the competition. As competition progresses you'll see an increase in the length of answers (except for 10s), an increase in the parts of questions and answers, and an increase in cross-reference and concordance questions. I like analysis questions of all varieties as you'll begin to see in the Regional level competition and beyond. Typical 20's will be a mixture of easier and harder questions at both Regional's and Nationals. 30's will be consistent with the level of difficulty you've become accustomed to at both Regional's and Nationals.

For only the "A" teams competing at National Finals we are adding questions from the "Book of Jude". Jude is found in the Official Scripture Portion. There will be no tie in or reference questions from Jude to Hebrews & Peter. The questions from Jude at National Finals will simply be straight up questions. The purpose of this addition is we have added more quiz rounds these past few years compared to when we quizzed on Hebrews & Peter in 2003-2004. With only 469 verses to work with (the smallest numbers of verses in any quiz year) this will aid the Official Writer to continue writing quality questions.

For 10-point questions, you will find them straight-forward and easy, usually seven words or less from League to Regional's. I try to make sure that the quizzer can interrupt 10-point questions around the second or third word. For 20 and 30-point questions – League level questions will be very easy, most coming from a single verse, gaining a little bit in difficulty through each league. District questions will be a little bit harder, stepping up the quotes to more than one verse and adding some cross reference material within chapters. Regional questions will be harder still, adding some concordance material. There will be 10 "Middle School Study Questions" * per set for League 1, then 5 per set for Leagues 2-4. You will find an average of 2 Quotation Questions/Quotation Completion Questions for each set from Leagues 1-5, as well as an average of 2 Chapter Analysis questions. For Chapter Analysis, I will put both the chapter and the verse in the question.
