Ever wonder what jbq and bgmc are all about? Mrs. Larissa and mrs. carla are bringing the best of both worlds to North carolina!!! Join us this march for a march madness like no other!!!
Details
What is this tournament? An individual tournament that individuals will compete in against others to raise funds for BGMC.
Who can participate? Any individual in North Carolina that has an association with an Assemblies of God church. This does not mean that you cannot participate if you do not attend an Assemblies of God church (see prize information for more details). We want pastors, children’s pastor, current and former quizzers and coaches, parents, children, and more! If you do not live in North Carolina but would like to participate, please contact Carla Pesce @ [email protected]. We may still allow you to participate, but you would have to choose a church in North Carolina to represent.
What are the prizes? We are treating this the same way that March Madness occurs. At each level ( Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final Four, and the Championship), there will be small prizes given at each level. The champion of the tournament will “receive” the amount of the total registration funds as credit for their church towards BGMC. Due to the Assemblies of God association with BGMC, an Assemblies of God church in North Carolina must be chosen for this donation. For example, if you attend a non-denominational church but have friends in an Assemblies of God church, then you could choose that church for the BGMC donation. You would still get the prize, but the monetary donation would be given to BGMC in the name of whichever church is chosen.
How much does it cost? We are asking for everyone to pay a $5.00 registration fee. All monies will be going directly to BGMC.

What will we be quizzing on? We are only using the 10-point questions from the JBQ Fact-Pak. If you need a copy of questions, I can get them to you. There will be no quiz-outs. You must answer all 20 questions in the round.
How will we quiz? We will be using Auto Quiz for the competition. You do not need a buzzer! You can use your keyboard to quiz, just adjust settings in Auto Quiz. While Auto Quiz reads the questions to you, you will need a “judge” to make sure you answer the question correctly. Guidelines on how questions must be answered will be sent to all who register to quiz. (see information below!)
What determines the winner? Once the deadline for quizzing is over, we will compare results. These results break it down to even how quick someone buzzes in. We will address any ties once we get the final data.
