OMS Book Battle
What is Book Battle?
Book Battle is a Group of Students who read from the Official Book List (see below) to prepare for the Area Wide Book Battle competition in May. The competition is set up in a trivia style format, where the announcer reads a "In what book" question, and the team of 6 come up with the book title and author.
While only 6 players (and 2 alternates) are playing at a time - Book Battle is open to all. We will do a schoolwide competition to see gets to participate. Even if you don't get the top 8, we need everyone's help so we can win!
We will meet the 1st 3 Mondays each month from 3:00-3:45
My Google Meet is OMSLIBRARY.

Each question has the possibility of two points:
a) One point will be awarded for each complete title exactly as it appears on the official booklist (punctuation, spelling, and capitalization excluded). Answers with any deletions will not earn a point. The only exception will be if a title begins with the word "A" or "The" the scorers will count it correct whether or not the word "A" or "The" is included. Judges will ignore additions.
b) Another point will be awarded for each correct author exactly as it appears on the official booklist (punctuation, spelling, and capitalization excluded). A team cannot earn a point for the author’s name unless the title has been stated correctly. Author’s names with any deletions will not earn a point. Judges will ignore additions.
