The Tournament Quizzes

Here, in one post, you will find the tournament quizzes. I am releasing them one by one today because I have some settings to tweak on each one to ensure that you don't see the scores until all results have been submitted and the results are announced

http://www.eaforums.com/forums/quiz/quiz214.html - Geography Quiz
http://www.eaforums.com/forums/quiz/quiz213.html - History Quiz
http://www.eaforums.com/forums/quiz/quiz222.html - Literature Quiz
http://www.eaforums.com/forums/quiz223.html - Math and Science
http://www.eaforums.com/forums/quiz/quiz224.html - Grammar and Vocabulary.

And that's all folks!

Amy

Re The Tournament Quizzes

Partway through the tournament and here are some preliminary scores. Let the trash talking begin

http://www.eaforums.com/forums/tourn1.php

Note: Not all team members have taken the quizzes yet. So, don't start counting any chickens. You all are doing amazingly well so far.

Don't give up on team Date
the two smartest members will be here late.
Sara may try to start a rumble
but with her pom poms she may fumble.
Your canaloupes might be sweet
but Team Date is the team to beat!

Re The Tournament Quizzes

The real irony for me is how eating cantaloupes have been proven to make allergies worse, and my allergies finally feel better after doing a couple quizzes. (Although I really wish Math and Science had been separate quizes )

Re The Tournament Quizzes

Okay, where are the tournament rules? Is there a time limit? How long do we have to take the quizzes. And what the hell rhymes with elderberry?

If you are on Team Elderberry
Go ahead and hit the ferry!
We all know that Team Date Rules
The other teams are full of fools.


Love you all though!

Deb, each team has its own time limit. It'll tell you how long when you click.

Deb, there are five quizzes. You just need to take them all over the next couple of days. They're all timed, and some people say that the quizzes are somewhat sadistic.
