There will be no COVID-19 restrictions imposed by OJABA this year. As per our Rules, coaches who host our district or regional tournaments
are not allowed to impose such restrictions. There are only a few changes in our Rules for 2022-2023.
Changes are printed in red in the Rules, which you may access on the "Documents" page. All 5&6 regionals will be played on
January 21; 6&7, on February 11; 7&8, on February 18; and 8&9, on February 25. Before you join this year, you must decide if you have these dates available in your calendar. The State Tournaments wil
be held in Dale High School on April 1 (5&6), April 15 (6&7), April 22 (7&8), and April 29 (8&9). 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
