Stats for the September quiz meet!

What a fun day of quizzing! I enjoyed seeing all the friendly competition that happened today! I would like to say we have seen a quiz we haven't seen before (or at least in a really long time), Piedmont Park's team "The Two Outside Teams" managed to get 300 points by question 13 in one of the quizzes. Three out of four quizzers quizzed out without error by question 13. The team finished with 330 when the fourth quizzer got a fourth person bonus on question 18.

Now, let's get to the Deltona Alliance's stats. I'm going to start out with the team stats. There were a total of 16 teams today.

"Batteries not Included" got 9th today and "The Roses among the Thorns" came in 11.

Now for individual stats:
Jacob Grybowski did really well today as he tied for third overall.

Next comes Bethany Shady who placed 17th today.

After her Michaela Brzozowski who took 21st.

Joey Troche wasn't able to get any correct or any wrong and ended up in 43rd.

Nathan shady wasn't able to get any correct but did try as he has come up with 2 errors, which is still good that he is trying at his first meet, that places him at 47th.

Samuel Alvarez didn't show up today leaving him at 49th.

Jordan Brzozowski didn't show up today leaving him at 53rd. 

I am really proud of the quizzers that showed up today and gave it their all and I'm sure the other coaches of Deltona Alliance Church will agree. They showed that they knew the material and that they are memorizing God's Word which is what really matters here.I couldn't be more proud of them. Everyone did their best and they did what they could and did amazing. Jacob did amazing, and he showed his knowledge of the Word. Bethany and Michaela did great as well and Nathan did his best as a rookie, and getting a jump at your first quiz isn't easy. Joey knew the material just didn't quite get his jumping figured out, which is understandable as we had fast jumpers today. All that to say, I must repeat myself. I am proud of EVERYONE who quizzed today.

First quiz meet!

We are approaching our first quiz meet this Saturday, September 17. We are looking forward to seeing all the quizzers using all they have learned and studied in friendly competition. Below is the email we sent to the quizzers and their parents:

Hello Quizzers and Parents! We are pleased to announce that our very first quiz meet of the year is coming up this Saturday, the 17th. We will be having a set up and practice Friday at 6 PM. I know this may be hard for some people and some parents, so just come as soon as you may. We will be providing some food and drinks at the end of practice. We expect to be done sometime around 8.
    Saturday morning, we are asking that each quizzer be there at 8:30 at the latest. We do need some help with breakfast, as well as some help serving lunch, so if anyone is willing to help in the kitchen Saturday, please send a reply. We ask that each household brings one dessert and one breakfast item, enough to feed at least 12 people. Two desserts or two breakfast items is also great, however, we do need to know what each family is bringing. A reply to this E-mail (dacswordswallowers@yahoo.com) will be greatly appreciated.
    We expect to be done taking everything down about 2:30 0r 3. If everyone helps and takes down, especially in the kitchen we can expect to be done earlier. Quizzers, if you are not going to be there Friday, or at any time Saturday, please let me know so we can plan accordingly. Get lots of rest!
SDG,
Timmy Rich, Joel Goode, Christian Jones, (Andy Rich)

Even though we asked the parents and quizzers for breakfast/dessert items, it would be appreciated if anyone who feels led to bring something to bring something.

We also ask that you support this ministry in the best way possible: Prayer. Pray that the quizzers remember what they studied, pray that they are storing the Word in their hearts for more than just a competition, and pray that everyone learns how truly great our God is.

Everyone who wishes to come and cheer on our quizzers are welcome! It's recommended you get there at around 9:30 or 10 AM if you wish to spectate. Quizzers, you are expected (as said in above letter) to be at the church by 8:30 AM and you MUST let one of us know if you can not make it.

Stats for our church will also be posted here when stats get posted on the quizzing districts site.
