YA for next Saturday

Well if you know, next week, we are supposed to have participated the LRT Amazing Race. Since, none of our YA-ers are attending, (high entry fees being one of the reasons), there is a open slot for YA next week.

This is what I have been thinking:-

We shall have a Quiz of sorts.

GENERAL INFO:-
We shall divide ourselves into 3 groups. Each participant gets to choose a question from a category of their choice to answer. If gets to answer it first, failing which his/her group gets to anwer. Again, failing which, it is then opened to the other groups.

CATEGORIES OF QUIZ
Tentatively, we shall select from the below categories:-
a. Capitals of nations
b. Parables of Jesus
c. Lyrics of hymnals
d. Famous Quotations
e. Names of Bible Characters
f. Meaning of idioms/Expressions
g. Pictures of places/buildings
h. History
i. Random Trivial
j. Bible Knowledge
k. Sports

HOW THE QUIZ WORKS
Each category will have 5-6 questions. Each question in each category gets harder in sequence. First question of that category which is supposedly easier will be tagged with 5 points, and maybe the second question is worth 8 points which is harder than the first, and so on. You cannot jump to answer the 4th question if the 2nd question of that category has not been answered. Easy?

ADDITIONAL FUN RULES
1) Prior to the start of the quiz, each team is allowed to "bid" and "sell" for any players to be included in their team. Bidding and selling is done and payment is via points transfered. For example, if Team A & Team B both bid for player X from Team C, and if Team A wins Team B in bidding for the player in a tender process (because Team A pledge higher points to be paid to Team C), then Team A is liable to pay Team C the designated amount of points. Hence, points will be deducted from Team A and paid to Team C. Team C does not have the option not to sell the player. The only way that Team C can retain that player is to bid for their own player to be retained in the team by placing a value (in terms of points) secretly via a ballot. If the point placed by Team C is higher than any of the bidders, then player X is retained. However, Team C, is liable to lose the difference in points from the value of the highest other bidders. For example, if Team A & B bid secretly for a player at 15 and 12 points respectively, while Team C bids for own player at 18 points, then Team C will lose 3 points from total score. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONLY ONE BIDDING FOR PLAYERS FROM EACH TEAM.

2) If a team member cannot answer a question, the team or the individual can decide to buy a hint from the Master of Ceremony. However, the hint is only made know to the team and not the other teams. If the question has been opened to the other teams, any other team can also buy a hint.

3) Each team has a MULTIPLIER WILDCARD to play. Meaning, if answering a 10 point question, if the team is confident in answering the question favorably, the team can decide to play the WILDCARD prior to the reading of the question. If the team manages to answer that question favourably, then the team will stand to win 20 points instead due to the multiplication factor. Only one MULTIPLIER WILDCARD is allowed per team.

4) If you have any dispute to any proceedings of the quiz, you may raise your concerns and petitions to the MASTER REFEREE. Bringing your petitions to the MASTER REFEREE is not free and it will cost you some administrative points. However, if the MR judges in your favour, then the points will be returned to you. If unfavourably, the points will be forfeited.


So interesting enough??
