Quiz Team Home Page
Quiz team is a very
popular
activity at PCHS, with students of all grade levels participating in
lunchtime
and weekend practices, and several competitions throughout the
year.
We have for many years hosted our own High School and Jr. High
Tournaments,
both of which are well-attended and respected for their high level of
production.
Mrs. Stephanie Frank,
assisted by Mr. Weaver,
has been the sponsor of Quiz Team for many years and challenges our
students
to broaden their base of knowledge (one dare not say "trivia"!)
Our
teams have been very successful, winning both local and State
championships
several times over the years.
Quiz team is played
in a question-answer format with teams that have 5 players each.
Ten toss-up questions are asked of each team, then a 2-minute worksheet
round occurs, in which the teams try to answer as many of 20 questions
as they can. The answers to these 20 questions begin with the
same
letter. Fifteen more toss-ups are asked, and then final scores
are
tallied, with teams receiving 10 for each correct answer in the
round.
This combination of speed and knowledge makes for an exciting game, and
gives students the feeling of participating in a very competitive
setting.
