Our material for the 2009-2010 quiz year will be 1st and 2nd Corinthians. Churches need to start planning for materials and practices that I hope start sometime in early August. We will again have a pre-season kickoff/workshop. We’re going to try and schedule more than 1, preferably the same day but in different locations so you might get one closer to home.

The cycle of books we quiz on is posted at http://www.wbqa.org/wbqa_quizcycle.htm. The Nazarene Church follows the WBQA quiz cycle posted there.
To paraphrase the current rules:
- quizzer can complete a question as a multiple-part question
- all the parts of the question MUST be from the same biblical passage
- if more than one biblical passage is used, only the first question is accepted
- memory verse questions cannot be answered as multiples
- all questions must be given before the answers
- if answers are not in the same order as questions, it is the quizzer’s responsibility to make clear to the quizmaster which answers go with which questions
- if a quizzer provides incorrect information in any part, the entire answer is incorrect
- if the quizzer gives the correct question/answer but does not answer all of the additional questions, they are still correct—as long as no erroneous information was provided
Question: If a quizzer is answering a question by doing a “multiple” response and gets all the information in without getting the exact question/answer, is it still correct?
Answer: Short answer, no. The end point is that they must answer the question you intended to ask. If they get that info in a form that is answering a different question, then they are incorrect. However, the rules do allow for an “inverse” to be correct. An inverse is where the question they give contains the information from the answer and their answer contains the original question’s information.
