Competitive Bible Bowl 6th-12th Grade

This one-hour class is similar to the 4th hour Bible Bowl class with the following distinctives:

• Time will be focused solely on buzzing and preparing teams for mandatory monthly competitions held on Saturday afternoons.

• The class is shorter with no time for review, so there is a higher expectation of homework completion and preparation.

• There is a $75 fee per season, payable to the teacher; includes registration fee and study guide. (Students enrolled in the 4th hour class may stay over into the 5th hour class without additional fees.)

• Participation in the end of the season, national-level tournaments is optional. (December 5-7 at Kentucky Christian University; June 8-11 at Milligan University.)

• Participation is strongly encouraged when possible, and players will be expected to prepare as if they are participating on the national level.
