JBQ Meet #3

 Compass Kidz
 4 members in the top 10 for last meet and this meet. #1 and #2 spots were the same with Joshua in 2nd.
 His two 2nd place ribbons for meet 2 & 3.
Me and #2


Joshua and his team had their 3rd meet of the season today. They came in first place and went undefeated in 7 rounds of quizzing. They are undefeated all season so far. They had 2130 points as a team. The 2nd place team had 455 points. No contest. They have knowledge of the questions but aren't quite fast enough on the buzzer to interrupt and beat the A league teams. They have more than 900 points over the 1st place team in "A" league but they don't buzz in as quickly. Once they go to State, they'll be competing against A teams so they'll suffer losses then-probably. But for now they are enjoying their success as first time quizzers.

Here are the results by round:
Round 1: 290-0
Round 2: 320-0
Round 3: 310-0
Round 4: 245-60
Round 5: 330-0
Round 6: 330-0
Round 7:295-20

Amazing! While a part of me feels bad for the other teams, the other part of me knows our kids are working HARD to memorize their questions. I can't help it if the other teams don't put in the amount of time & effort to learn the questions/answers. All "B" teams are 1st time quizzers. Actually, some of them did compete in the Pee Wee league so they knew how it worked AND knew the 10 point questions.

We went out for pizza with the team afterwards. 
Hannah has her 4th meet in February. She also started theater last week so she's a happy girl.
