Name That Book Rules for K-2 Contest ELIGIBILITY Students in grades K-2 may participate. A total of six students per team will represent each school entered in the contest. One student will serve as Captain. One student may come as an official alternate; other students from the school may come to observe. PRIMARY READING LIST The official list is located on the Library Services website. Incidents and quotations from the books will be identified with the title of the book. NO author’s names will be required. PROCEDURE Each question will be addressed to all teams at the same time by the announcer. The questions will be read one time only. Questions and corrects answers will be displayed on a screen for the audience to see. After the question has been read, each team will have one minute to discuss the question and select the answer. Colored book jackets will be placed on tag board and bound to make a booklet. The team will select the title from the booklet. The team captain will stand when time is called and display their team’s answer when requested. No one will be allowed to change answers after time has been called or while standing. Each round will consist of five questions. There will be five rounds of questions for a total of 25 questions. Any protest must be made at the end of each question, after each school has given its answer, for that question only. To register a protest, the team sponsor or the team captain may approach the judges. A team may protest their own answer only, not the answer of another team. Three minutes will be allowed to resolve the problem. In case of a tie at the end of Round Five, additional questions will be asked until one of the tied teams misses a question. AWARDS Each participant will receive a certificate and a medal. A trophy will be awarded to the winning school in each preliminary round. First, second, and third place trophies will be awarded to the winners in the finals. JUDGES Judges will arbitrate questions about answers, ties, and protest. Their decision is final. The judges may penalize teams for inappropriate behavior such as outbursts, disrespectful conduct, or unsportsmanlike conduct.
