Any challenges over here?
You do have one.
Aren't there making a decision about a challenge on this side?
So while they do that, we're gonna pitch it back to Christina and Linda.
Alright, thank you so much.
So I potential challenge going on.
Sounds like they're discussing something may or may not have a challenge, but what's your take so far?
I think this is one of our closest matches.
It is it is and they are very good both teams.
But I think maybe the challenge might have to do with an answer that would be acceptable as well as the one that Steve had on his favor because sometimes there are alternate answers that will work just as well, so I think that's what it might be.
Of course I could be totally wrong, you know.
It's just up to the coaches to figure out if they want to make that challenge.
We are just speculating here, of course, and so another question that has come up is these questions.
Where do they come from?
How do they get them together?
There are question riders who develop the questions for high school students because they have there's all levels elementary, junior, high.
There's high school.
There's college, so we have question writers all over the United States who do this, and our questions this year have come from a former coach in Arkansas.
And so she's done a really good job of writing these questions.
But each year the Questions Committee out of the board.
We have a committee and the board then decides if they are going to accept that riders bid because they asked them to put in bids and give sample questions so they'll know what kind of questions they might give and that way they can pick a question writer who will give them good questions and not try to break the bank.
On the Quiz Bowl Association, absolutely.
And so they really look at who is contributing and the quality of the questions we're choosing.
So right, exactly and let's go back to kind of the basics of these challenges.
It's been a while since we've talked about that.
So how does it work?
Who does the challenges?
And how long do they have?
OK, a challenge can only be 5 minutes, five minutes, and the coach has to present the challenge.
They're the only ones who can approach the judges and the judges then have to make a decision.
Is this challenge?
Is it a good challenge and the coaches have to present written material that show that their answer could be considered correct?
Unless it's a procedural channel challenge and in that case a procedural challenge means maybe they didn't the quizmaster or someone didn't hear correctly what the student said.
Perhaps it's just a matter of.
The timing there's all kinds of things that it could be, but the coach has to present it.
And then the judges have to decide.
And it's kind of tense to make that decision because it's hard, especially when it's a really, really close game and it's a fast paced situation where exactly too so it can be very tricky.
So this challenge is actually withdrawn, so it never fully became a an official challenge.
It has been withdrawn, they've got it figured out, which means we can turn it back over to the quiz master and continue.
Go ahead Steve, OK. Well, welcome back here to Studio C on the Arkansas PBS station here in Conway and we had a potential challenge and the coach looked at it and finally ended up deciding not to make the challenge so they have that right to look for alternative answers and things all right so.
At the end of the first round, I told you this was going to be a great game.
Benton, 60, and Russellville, 60, so this is going great.
At this time, we're going to let you make substitutions and take a short break.

Alright, very good job.
Those can be confusing, but y'all handled it masterfully.
So since I got all ten ride we give them a 20 point bonus.
And that can be helpful later on down the line.
Alright?
Do we have any challenges on this round?
We do have one over here.
2 challenges, OK?
And and you all have some over here.
OK, so we're gonna go to Christina and Linda and take a short break while they make these challenges.
OK, so it sounds like we do have some challenges in this round.
It's been a while since we've actually had an official challenge, and So what do you think might be going on with this challenge?
I think that maybe the teams are challenging answers that were given.
I noticed that Russellville students were kind of.
Signaling their coach that they might have a challenge, so I think that's a good way to for the kids to let the coach know.
Hey, my answer was probably right, so the coach then would look up and make sure that that answer was right, so that might be it.
I'm not sure, but then we also had a challenge over here.
On the other side on Benton and I don't know what that challenge was about.
They might be challenging an answer that Russellville gave, or it could be that.
One of their students answers was equally as right, so it could be several things.
So it was quite a round too, because Russellville really pulled ahead in that with what they did, and knowing those cases so quickly and it really came together.
Talk about how did these kids prepare for something like this?
You really need to know a wide gamut of information.
Well, the things that are asked, there's a lot of times that there are things repeated.
Students go to Invitational, quizbowl tournaments all the time, and those things that are asked if those tournaments seem to show up here.
And here and here, and you find out Supreme Court cases might be coming up quite a bit, so I need to study the Supreme Court cases.
They learn them, you know, and we need to know our presidents.
They're gonna ask us about the vice presidents.
We need to know our vice presidents.
Maybe they're going to ask about first, ladies, you know, a lot of things come up.
And then, as we've said before, a lot of students are specialists, so they know.
OK, I'm in charge of president.
I've got to know him.
I'm in charge of Supreme Court.
Basis I've gotta know it can divide out just yes, yes, and some students may have three or four categories that they have to know.
And you know, composers, artists.
There's all kinds of things that you could could do, and some students like to say, well, I'm in charge of pop culture.
Well, to me that just says I'm in charge of what's going on right now, so I don't know.
I'm not an expert on pop culture, so I can't answer a lot of questions about that.
But you know, these things come up so much.
You find out what what you should be learning, and as a coach, you notice that and over the years, if you coach quite a few years, you find out, hey, I need to be sure that I my students know these categories and the kids will make flash cards.
They'll sometimes just have long lists that they'll study all kinds of things like that, and that sounds like it's just memorizing for quizbowl, but it does come up.
I've had students come back and tell me.
OK, you know I didn't know a whole lot about this, but I knew something about it.
Just start with so I had a place to start and so these things do show up later in life.
And that's a great place to start.
And yes, learning it not just memorizing it right.
So we actually do have three challenges going on.
One has been resolved and they are still working on the other two, so something else I want to talk about is this is our first year back since the pandemic since COVID in this live setting new set tell us how have we functioned over the last bit of time.
Well, COVID sort of killed everything for a first year that first year of the pandemic, and because it was so new and everything was closed down and we couldn't have it.
Well then following that we had a year last year where the students were in one building and UCLA and the other people that helped that were directing that were, you know, doing all the asking and all that they were over here in this building.
So we had to make.
The big change in the way things were done and even the 62nd round was changed in that the students had to, you know, go through the 62nd round instead of timing.
You just had all 10 questions.
It was just a difference in the way things had to be done.
So it was very challenging for all the people that were working and for the students and the coaches.
And so it made a big difference.
However, Quizbowl carried on, that's right.
That's the most important part.
We found a way to make it work and we're all back now this year.
So the two Russellville challenges have been decided and now we're working on the Benton Challenge.
Talk to me about the captains.
Every team has a captain.
How do they decide who that person is and what does that role entail?
Well, the captain of the team has to assess what the other students are telling them when they have a bonus question or when they have the 62nd round questions.
So it's a pretty big job in that you have to know.
You know how to kind of see?
Does he really know that?
Does she really know that?
Who?
Who is the best at assessing and quickly answering?
That's another thing, a quick answer.
And so the captains are chosen that way.
I usually my best players were usually not the captain because I always felt like I had one player that might be able to assess everybody and kind of listen to what everybody's saying a little bit more.
And so it was, you know, a hard job, but the students kind of know who can I trust and who can I not trust.
And quickly.
I mean, that's not a tough role to be in, so that's the captain's job, and it's kind of hard.
And sometimes you'll hear the the kids say, I.
Defer to yes and that and when they say, defer to it means that they are just at that point saying I can't pronounce this or I can't hear what he's saying.

We have two challenges that have been resolved waiting on that third one to be decided on.
So have you ever seen or been a part of a match where a challenge actually changes the outcome of the points of the match?
Yes, that's gonna add it.
We've had it.
Here at some finals back in the days when we had the overall final in that time period we had a playoff sort of form where you went through and you played other school.
Other divisions.
I guess you could say like you know, 5A might play a 7A or something like that, so if that's the case then we have, you know.
There was might be a challenge and there was a couple of times that I can remember when.
The challenge was upheld.
The teams were tied.
The challenge was upheld and the points were taken off of one team and it made the other team win.
Wow anything can happen, especially when it's live like this.
You know it gets very exciting so all three challenges have now been resolved.
So we're going to go back to the quiz master and find out the judge's decision, Steve.
Well, welcome back here to Studio C and our very exciting 6A state championship and we had four challenges during that time and The upshot of it is that three of them were denied and one was accepted.
So Russellville had made a challenge.
About Namibia being known as German, Southwest Africa and that was accepted by the judges.
And so we're going to give 10 more points to Russellville if we haven't done it already.
And the other challenges were either denied or didn't affect anything so.

Going into round four, we are going to make a substitution or two.
