 * Mythology Bowl 2009 **

** October 14-16 **
Welcome to the Mythology Bowl! Over the course of three days of fierce competition, you will become acquainted with the land of Ancient Greece, as well as its long-held tales of gods, heroes, and events that shaped the way we look back on history. Over three (well … two days including block) periods of action, you and your teammates will travel play in exotic venues such as the classroom! (Beachwear and nice weather not included.) =The Process= We will begin on Wednesday or Thursday by selecting teams and explaining the bowl, rules, and results. Using books from the LMC for guidance, teams will try to answer as many questions as possible on the world and stories of Ancient Greece. =The Rules= =The Points= I will total the points daily. You will receive one point for every correct answer. You will know which questions are correct the next day of competition. The team with the most answers correct will win and will become Mythology Bowl 2009 champions. This team will also be treated to something extra. =Grading= For all periods, the team that has the most correct answers will receive 35 out of 35 points. Each team that is within 5% of the winning team’s number of correct answers will receive 34 points. See chart below for other point totals. Within % Total points 5 ||   34  ||  10  || 33 ||  15  ||   32  ||  20  ||   31  ||  25  ||   30  ||  30  ||   29  ||  50  ||   27  ||  40 or lower  || 25 ||
 * ** Teamwork is key. You will not win without it, trust me. **
 * Before beginning, your team must come up with a name that has to do with Language Arts or mythology in some way. These must be approved by me.
 * Books are from the library’s collection and my personal collection. They must be treated well or the game will be over.
 * Only one copy of questions will be given to each team. At the end of the period each day, the team leader is responsible for returning the questions to me.
 * [[image:file:///C:%5Ctemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_image006.gif width="73" height="96"]] If there is a possibility that a member is unsure of an answer, he/she should check it with the team leader, not with me.
 * Cheating will result in loss of points and may include:
 * Trying to overhear what another group is talking about
 * Attempting to read another group’s question sheet
 * Seeking to take or copy the questions in any way
