As a Scholars Bowl player IRL, this should be fun. Sign me up.

Oh, and good call making the teams consist of 4/5 people instead of just two. It's nice to have a combined brain power from that many people. :)

You thought it would just be two? This kind of event is typically a group effort.

Oh, okay. I haven't been a part of an event like this before, so I didn't know that. Well, whoever came up with it first was smart. :D

Oh, I see. Yeah we've had this kind of setup before. See Five Days of Odyssey or The Bible Bowl for examples. :)

Huh. That's weird. According to those archives, I was part of a team in the "Five Days of Odyssey" contest, which took place just days after I became a member here. I have no recollection of that whatsoever... :?

You probably never logged in to check it. I know some of the teams had members that didn't really participate.

The results are in! After a fun week of question answering, each team was given a grand total of 75 difficult questions relating to Adventures in Odyssey to answer. All four of the teams were amazing, and I was surprised at how many they got correct each day.

So, without further ado:

In first place we have.....

Team Whit!
Team Whit correctly answered 67 our of 75 questions, way to go guys!


In second place we have....

A Tie?? That's right! Team Connie and Team Tamika!
They both answered 63 out of 75 questions correctly.


And, that leaves us with Team Eugene!. They correctly answered 61 out of 75 questions correctly, putting them in 3rd place.


All of the teams were amazing! =D> I really enjoyed getting to "listen in" on their decisions and watching people discuss various answers. I hope you guys all had as much fun participating as I had running the event :)


Team members, your prizes will be sent out shortly.

Eh, I think we did all right considering when only had 2 to 3 people helping most of the time. \:D/
