Western Canada Quizzing

As Sandy mentioned at the last coaches’ meeting, new scoresheets have been developed this fall replacing the copy-of-a-copy-of-a-copy versions that have still been floating around out there. If you’d like to use it for your team, you can find a PDF copy on our resources page.

We would encourage all quizzers, coaches and officials to take a few minutes to check out a new “Bible Quizzing Score Keeping 101″ tutorial by Steven Lohse. Whether your brand new to scorekeeping or a long-time veteran, the tour is worth checking to make sure we’re all on the same page (so to speak).

Download the fully-functional PowerPoint file or a convenient web-enabled version.

Good scorekeeping is really one of the key foundations on which a successful meet must be built.

Team and quizzer statistics from the November 20th meet in Vanguard can now be found in PDF form on the stats page.

The gallery has been updated with the first pictures from Vanguard. Be sure to send in yours!

Thanks Adrienna and Breanna.

The weekends are over and great times were had by all, despite the early snow. Stats from the north and south regionals are available now on the stats page.

Adrienna has sent in the first small batch of pictures from Three Hills which can be found in the gallery. Be sure to send in your snapshots!

If you’re looking for materials or jumping hardware, take a look at our handy new resource guide page.

The new 2009 C&MA Quizzing Rule Book is available for download.

For coaches looking for address and fax details for providing payment details, you can find them on our contact page.

• We all enjoyed our experience at the Minnesota Twins baseball game in the evening, kettle corn and all!
• On our way back from the game to Crown College, we saw some impressive lightning light up the sky on the way back.
• Favourite Quote from Jennifer: “Oh, you children are always so cold!”

July 11

• Elimination Quizzing—we fought the good fight and had some excellent quizzes during the elimination round nearly qualifying for finals.
• We ended the meet satisfied with our performance. We praised God to place fourth at the end of the championship round!
• After we were done quizzing, we went out as a team for ice cream. After ruling out a lake as an eating spot as we would have been charged an entrance fee, we selected a quiet graveyard in which to enjoy our ice cream.
• Once we finished our ice cream, a car wash party ensued as we scrubbed, scraped and power washed the decorations off the windows of the Silver Bullet. Fortunately we were able to remove all traces of our creativity.
• We were excited to see our friends from Pacific Northwest place first in Consolation B, and our CMD2 comrades win the Consolation A finals.
• Individually, Adrienna placed 17th and Denae placed 3rd overall.
• Some of us participated in the all-nighter party until around 2:00 a.m.—Jennifer contributed greatly to the fun times by her enthusiastic participation in The Name Game.

July 12

• We cleared the border into Canada with ease today!
• Kyle’s Kwotes: “I have a one-track mind with multiple lanes.”
• An intense game of Settlers of Catan took place in our hotel room, resulting in Denae winning her first game ever!

We thank everyone for your prayers and notes of encouragement.
