Tips for A League Students

Seth Sundell - A-League Official Writer

"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.
