At the start of every quizzing season (September) a specific book or books of the Bible are studied. It is from these books that all material for the quizzes of that season are taken. Two or three teams of up to five teens each sit on chairs equipped with electronic sensors. A specific chapter and verse reference is given by the Quizmaster which challenges the participant’s knowledge of that material. The first quizzer to stand will trigger a light which gives that quizzer the right to answer the question within a brief time period. The Quizmaster determines if the answer is correct and within the time limit. If so, that team is awarded the appropriate points. Each quiz lasts twelve minutes, consisting of two six-minute rounds.

As quizzers gain experience, their skill level increases to the point where they will often jump even before the Quizmaster completes his question; their knowledge of the Bible verses and the strategies they have learned combine to create an exciting competition that is a thrill in which to participate..
