RULE HIGHLIGHTS  --  New for 2004-2005

Quizzing is divided into three levels of competition:

Pee Wee (Target: Kindergarten & 1st Grade):
     The Pee Wee Division is for children with a maximum age of 6 years old on June 1st prior to the new Indiana JBQ season.

Discover (Target: 2nd & 3rd Grades):
     The Discover Division is for children with a maximum age of 8 years old on June 1st prior to the new Indiana JBQ season.

Searcher (Target: 4th, 5th & 6th Grades):
     The Searcher Division is for children with a maximum age of 11 years old on June 1st prior to the new Indiana JBQ season.

Summary:

 The age requirement is normally a sufficient requirement for all students. However, some students may be older than the typical age of those in the same grade. Waivers to allow older children to participate may be issued by the District Coordinator. Reasons for such waivers include learning disabilities, being held back a grade, or starting school at an older age. If a church believes it has a special circumstance that warrants an exception, the church must submit the appropriate waiver form (see the website for details) to the District Coordinator.

Appeal Limitations

Pee Wee Division
     *  Appeals are not allowed in the Pee Wee Division.

Discover Division
     *  League Meets - No appeals are allowed.
     *  State Finals - Each team is allowed two appeals per day of the meet.

Searcher Division
     *  League Meets - No appeals are allowed.
     *  State Finals - Each team is allowed two appeals per day of the meet.

Appeal Alternative:

In place of a coach's appeal, a head coach may fill out an Issue Report during any meet. In the event a situation arises during a round where the head coach feels that the officials did not follow the Indiana District JBQ Rules, he may fill out an Issue Report form and turn it in at the Stats Room. He must do so immediately following the round in which the situation arose. The Issue Report may be used during any meet.

The League Coordinator shall accept the Issue Report form and determine the appropriate course of action, perform this action, and document it on the bottom of the form. Possible actions may include speaking with the officials involved or having a representative sit in on a match in the room where the situation on the report occurred. At the conclusion of the meet, the League Coordinator shall email a summary of all Issue Reports to the email address contained on the form. The information obtained from the Issue Reports will be used to better train the officials and coaches.
