accompanying a team should wear a face mask or face shield and practice social distancing as much as possible.
● Only players
and team supervisors are allowed to be present in game rooms.
● At each tournament, each team should supply its own:
●
Face masks or face shields
● Hand sanitizer
● Spray disinfectant or disinfectant wipes
● A sanitized lockout system
●
Pencils or pens and scratch paper
POSTED JULY 22, 2020:
There are
only a few minor changes in our Rules for 2020-2021. Changes are printed in red in the Rules, which you may access on
the "Documents" page.
Again this year, we are giving you and your players a heads up on subjects
that we will emphasize in our questions for the coming year. Most of our sixty-second sets will be drawn from these
subject areas. We will especially draw questions from the following subject areas:
U.S. Presidents (numerical order, full names--including
names not commonly known and extensions such as "Jr.," years in office, birth states, political parties, and Vice-presidents)
World Geography (heads of state, countries,
capitals, rivers and lakes and other bodies of water, mountains, and location of each country by continent and as relates
to other countries on its continent)
Chemical Elements (groups, symbols, name derivations)
U.S. States (capitals, postal abbreviations, rivers, lakes, mountains, and location of each state)
Oklahoma Counties and County Seats
Bones of the Human
Body
Basic Grammar
Reading List for 2020-2021
Some tossups and some sixty-second sets--scattered throughout the year in all four
divisions--will be based upon the books listed below, which are Newbery Medal winners from the past one hundred years--at
least one from each decade beginning with the 1920's.
