Quizzing March Madness

Wins. Losses. Groups. Brackets. It must be March Madness. No, not NCAA Men's Basketball. It's the tournaments of Bible Quizzing. There are two of them: the ACC Tournament (once again, not the basketball one) and the Invitational with the Ohio leagues. No more does your standings revolve around points. You either win or you lose. Ya got to be careful, though. One too many losses, and you'll wind up out!

The first of the two tournaments is the ACC Tournament. It is also known by many other names, like the PA tournament and the Clean Slate Tournament. A team is placed in one of eight groups. Three groups have eight teams, five groups have seven teams. A team will quiz against every team in the group once. Record of win and loss is recorded. The top two teams from each group (totalling 16 teams) will go to a single elimination playoff bracket. The team that wins 4 matches in a row is the ACC Tournament champions! It starts at 1 PM at Lancaster Bible College.

Spring City is in Group F. The other six teams in our group are E-Town 3, Petra 7, Neffsville 1, Strasburg 2, Maple Grove 1, Bowmansville 2. We were surely blessed by God through the teams we have been chosen with. We were told every group was going to have a top 8 team. We got the 8th place team. We also got the easiest of the Petras. We've already quizzed against Bowmansville 2, so we know what coming up. We're praying really hard we can get in the playoffs. If we practice hard and trust in the Lord, we should have no problem. Here's are schedule if you'd like to come.

1:00 Strasburg 2 111-S
1:25 Maple Grove 1 104-S
2:35 Petra 7 204-GSC
2:55 Neffsville 1 201-GSC
3:35 E-Town 3 101-S
4:15 Bowmansville 2 111-S

There is the top quizzers award (which I'm going to get) and the quizzing video at 6:15 PM. I hope everyone can come to support the team. It is an all-day event, so come when you can, leave when you have to. We love to hear your cheering! We promise we'll do good!

Now, I like to make my own predictions, just like people like to fill out their brackets for the NCAA March Madness. This is what I think this year will be like:

A REMINDER THAT THESE ARE ONLY PREDICTIONS!!

Group A: Slate Hill 1, Goods 1
Group B: Good Shep 1, Reading
Group C: Petra 1, Zion 1
Group D: Petra 2, Zion 2
Group E: Rockville, Petra 4
Group F: Spring City, Maple Grove 1
Group G: Hope Comm 1, Strausburg 1
Group H: Paradise 4, Weaverland 2

And the brackets would look a little something like this:




If you can't read that, I wouldn't blame you. I had to shrink it so much so that I could upload it, only to make it barely interpretable. It had Spring City in first place, Petra 2 in 2nd place and the semifinalists as Maple Grove 1 and Slate Hill 1. I'm not having it that way to be cocky, but we do have a good chance at that. As long as we stay united as a team under God.
