MACSA Bible Quizzing presents an amazing opportunity for students of all ages. The discipline of quizzing trains students to memorize God's Word and then maintain it in their memory. As a quizzer for several years, I have experienced the blessing of having God's Word ingrained in my mind and heart. Although I may not be able to remember every single verse years from now, I think the passages I memorized will still be comfortingly familiar and the lessons God taught me will still be sweet."
The Intermediate division of quizzing serves quizzers 12-14 years old and first-year quizzers 15-18 years old. The Experienced division is for advanced quizzers ages 12-18 years old. The age cut-off date is December 31st prior to the quiz year (i.e. a student will be an Experienced division quizzer if their 15th birthday is December 31st or earlier.)

Each team can have 2-5 quizzers. If you have a couple of young people and a coach, you have a team! Even if there is only one young person that wants to quiz, he/she can join another team in the same division from the same district.

The quizmaster reads a question, and the quizzer who buzzes in first has the opportunity to answer it; however, if neither team buzzes within 5 seconds, the question is closed and the quizmaster proceeds to the next question.
For many years, most denominational Bible quiz programs followed an agreed-upon cycle of New Testament books that repeated every eight years. In addition, these denominations agreed to quiz over the same version of the Bible, the New International Version (1984). The goals of this World Bible Quizzing alliance were to allow denominations to attend each other's tournaments and to promote unity in the body of Christ.
However, the 2011 revisions to the NIV caused many of these denominations to reconsider the text that they would use. Some chose other translations (English Standard Version, Berean Study Bible, and King James). And since they were no longer committed to the same translation as the other allied denominations, some have chosen to alter their quiz cycle, adding additional books (New Testament and Old Testament), and no longer limiting themselves to an 8-year cycle. This has had the effect of increasing sectarian autonomy at the cost of diminished unity.

The diocesan quiz program will be led by a team designated by and under the guidance of Eparchial Catechetical Council. This team will closely work with Regional level or Forane level leaders, vicars and CCD principals to co-ordinate all activities and communications for the success of this program. Few key responsibilities of this team are: question preparation, regional level written test evaluation, onstage judgement, onstage quiz master role, communication, preparation of rules and guidance, administrative functions, and budget.
In Children's Bible Quizzing, each child challenges himself or herself to reach award levels. In this approach, children quiz against a base of knowledge, not each other. The multiple-choice method of competition allows every child to answer every question. This approach makes it possible for every child to score a perfect score.
