What happens at a quiz meet?
Well….a lot of things actually happen at a quiz meet….really…
We start off getting to know one another in an informal putting on your name tag time. That’s not really impressive, I know, though most people are so glad to see their friends from far and wide and those who have not been to a quiz meet before get to meet lots of new friends…and, since everyone is wearing a name tag, it makes it just a little easier to initiate those new relationships.
Once the formal whole group time begins, we spend time reviewing why we exist through the Mission & Motto, we welcome new folks to our quizzing family – doesn’t matter if you’re a new quizzer, a new coach, a new parent, a new pastor, a new spectator, we’re so glad you’ve joined us! Then we continue together with prayer, we are inspired by someone who has something to share about quizzing & God or God & quizzing, we cheer each other on by encouraging the top 10 quizzers in each division and giving a prize to the most improved quizzer in each division.
As we head out to the actual competition time, we prepare our minds for an intensive mental workout – hoping to think clearly enough to answer the most questions, but realizing that sometimes, things just get mixed up in our heads so we do our best to glorify God in it all. The strange thing about our competitions is that everyone wins….not necessarily according to the scoreboard, but because of the time we’ve spent with God, memorizing His Word and putting it into practice…and actually, we all cheer for someone who did well or who tried hard, no matter which team they’re on. Talk about a positive environment to learn about life!
While our team is not in an actual quiz, some of us spend our time studying to do better at our next quiz; some of us visit with our friends and some of us cheer on other teams that are in the thick of things. Sometimes concessions are available – so we may spend some time eating.
A lot of the older students look forward to the MLK Crown Meet because it’s an overnighter and we spend a lot more time quizzing and worshiping God together. Another of our favorite times together is the February quiz meet which is followed by a Talent Show. Boy are we a talented bunch! But, you probably already knew that quizzers tend to be quirky and motivated flocks that are highly intelligent, though we may not always show our skills.
Well, that about covers the day….we usually start at 1 pm and leave when we’ve done our 3 quizzes for the day…or when we’re done helping with clean up. It would be great if you could join us sometime soon – we’d love to have you drop by to say hello and cheer!
