#7. Spelling Bee:
Competitors will line up in straight rows.
The Tifl who is being asked the word should step forward. After hearing the word, the Tifl will have 10 seconds to respond. After having spelled the word, the Tifl will be asked, “Is that final?” Once the contestant says yes, the judge will tell him if he spelled his word correctly or not. If the spelling is correct, the Tifl will stay in line; if not, he will be asked to come off the stage.
We will continue in this manner, going in rounds, until there are winners.
#8 MAA Trivia rules:
Rules: This game closely resembles the popular Trivia game, Jeopardy. The basic difference is instead of it being a competition between 3 contestants, we create teams and the teams go against each other to see who wins.
Basic Rules: There are 8 teams. Each team will have 6 players. The teams will go one by one, and pick any question they please from the board. They will be given 10 seconds to discuss the question and answer it. If the answer is correct, they will be rewarded points. If the answer is incorrect, points will be taken off and the next team will pick a question. At the end of each round, the point total will be read for everyone’s information. After two rounds are over, the game will ask the “Final Question”. The teams will wager whatever they wish from the points they have earned in the first two rounds. If a team gets the Final Question right, they will be awarded the points they wagered. However, if a team gets the Final Question wrong, the wagered points will be taken off. The team with the most points at the end of the three rounds will be considered the Champions of Trivia. The Rounds: There will be a total of three rounds. The first two rounds will feature 5 categories in each round. Each category will have 5 questions in it, ranging from 100 to 1,000 points. Obviously, as the points get higher, the questions will get harder. At the end of each round, the score keeper will announce to everyone, the scores of each team. After the first two rounds, the teams will be shown the category for the Final Question. They will then asses how much they know about the category and will wager a portion or all of their fortune as they please. Once everyone has written down their wager, the score keeper will collect the wagers so that there is no cheating. The question will be revealed, and the teams will have 30 seconds to write down their response. The host will ask each team for their answer and the score keeper will announce how much did the particular team wager. The points will either be added or subtracted, depending on the answer being correct or incorrect. The team with the most points at the end of this round will be considered the winner.The Teams: There will be 8 teams. Each region will be represented by one team. Each team will, ahead of time, pick a “captain” who will answer the team’s questions. Only the Captain of a particular team is allowed to speak. |
