Mac Youth Quest 2010

Trivia Face-Off

Description

The objective of this portion of the competition is to encourage the quest for knowledge and to develop leadership and teamwork skills, all while having fun in a competitive atmosphere.

Teams will study pre-assigned materials on a variety of topics. On the day of the competition they will compete with other teams on trivia questions formed from the pre-assigned reading material. Successful teams will progress to higher, more challenging rounds until one winning team is left. We hope that this live competition will be exciting, entertaining and educational for both the participants and the viewers.
