Readers Cup

The event consists of three separate competitions - Younger Readers, Older Readers, and Mature Readers.

Each competition consists of:

• 10 short-answer written quiz per Book Round, each worth 1 point

• (Note: some questions are two-part, so 1/2 point is possible.)

• A multiple-choice written quiz with questions about all the books, each worth 1/4 point

Before the start of the competition, each team can identify one Book Round to be their "Joker Round" for which they will get double points on the short-answer questions. NB: The Joker Round cannot be the Picture Book (Early Years) book in the category.

The Book Rounds will also be timed. 4 minutes maximum, with 10% BONUS points if your team hands in the short-answer written quiz within 3 minutes. So if your team got 7 answers correct and handed in the sheet within 3 minutes, you would get 7.7 points for the round, and if your team got all 10 answers correct and handed in the sheet within 3 minutes, you would get 11 points.

The multiple-choice written quiz can be filled in over the course of the whole competition -- only handed in at the end -- to be included in the final score. Each multiple choice answer is worth 1/4 point.

The younger & older readers' teams are made up of a maximum of 6 students, the senior team has a maximum of 4 students.

The total time of the event will be approximately 2 hours, allowing for introductions, audience trivia and judging.

Everyone is welcome to attend (to cheer on your teams).

Registration is $60 per team (payable to ISLN on or before the day) to cover cups, medals, prizes, participation certificates, gifts for judges, refreshments.
