Hey guys! How's it going? We've got some time of awesome preparation on our hands! Whether you're in prep for nationals, or cramming for regionals in a couple weeks, God is with you and He is enabling you to do your very best - no matter what. :) Today I'm gonna touch specifically on the subject of doing multiples! Giving multiple question/answer combinations is a basic necessity once you start pre-jumping earlier, and it gives you way better chances at getting it right. The guidelines for doing multiples are on page 12 of the official rule book, and those are great to read over, in order to get a feel for how they're supposed to go. Here are the main points:
But obviously, there are a lot of differences in how you can do multiples because of the different question types, and there are specific rules for them as well. Lets go over those real quick... Generals & Situation: All of the questions have to come from the same passage I have a few posts about generals, but I think the one that mainly discusses pre-jumping and multiple-ing is my 7 Secrets to Rocking Generals - Part 1, and Part 2. Also, the categories on "Questions" and "Technical Quizzing" will have some great related posts as well! According To's: All of the questions have to come from the same verse I haven't done according to's for very long, and I haven't really ever made it my specialty, but I've learned a little about them anyway. The main thing in my opinion, is to try to get all the main areas of the verse, and to not bother saying the inverses of the questions you already asked - it'll just take up time. Book & Chapters: All of the questions have to come from the same chapter These questions (and Contexts) pair nicely with general question quizzers, I think, because both types give only a few words for the quizzer to go off, and the quizzer has to pin-point where the phrase originates, and then complete it. These usually start at the beginning of a verse, but sometimes at the beginning of a statement which could be in the middle of one - just try to become familiar with the passages inside and out :P Contexts: Question multiples may come from anywhere - different verses, chapters, and books You really have to be a good reflex jumper in order to specialize in these, because they're kind of unpredictable, but they're also a lot of fun, and easy to multiple on! Memory Verses: CANNOT be answered with multiples Doing multiples on according to's is probably the most common at higher-level tournaments. The quizzer typically jumps on the reference and then gives all of the possibilities they can from that verse, and that takes a lot of work to be able to do! I whole-heartedly commend anyone who has made according to's their question specialty! :P For all the other types (except memory of course) multiple-ing is slightly less frequent, but nonetheless necessary. The pre-jump information narrows down the search most of the time, but that is often only enough to figure out which passage the question is coming from, and not enough to figure out what exact question it is, so it's a good idea to ask a few different variations, once you think you know where it's heading. So there we go!
If you'd like more information on the guidelines for multiples, there's a button on the right hand side of my page that says "Official Rules" and that will take you directly to the online booklet. Also, I believe that the app for Teen Bible Quizzing includes the rule book as well, so that's an awesome and convenient way to get familiar with it too. :) Man, isn't this an awesome ministry we get to be part of? It's giving us the tools and motivation to dig into God's Word, and opportunity to play games with it along side other youths who are seeking the Lord as well. I'm SO excited about next season, with 1-2 Corinthians, and I've got some plans and ideas for the blog that I'm really looking forward to - I'll try to give y'all a sneak peak here in a few weeks! :P Anyways, God loves you sooooooo much! He calls you beautiful, perfect, holy, anointed, gifted, and blessed to be a blessing! We are all made on purpose with a purpose - don't let the devil deceive you into thinking that you don't have anything significant to give, because he's just terrified about what will happen when you begin to flow in the gifting and calling that God has placed specifically inside of you! Have a wonderful day and week my friends! And as always... Keep calm and quiz on (and out)! Your fellow quizzer, Mallory
