Alternates may be substituted at the halfway point in any oral round. The power tournament structure lends itself perfectly to Knowledge Bowl. While not eliminating any team, it leads to competition among teams of similar caliber. Team groupings are rearranged after each round on the basis of their total points accumulated. In each round, while the teams with the highest cumulative scores are competing in one room, the next highest teams are competing in another, etc.
All teams compete in every round.
Question use is maximized since all students in every room are exposed to every question. Awards and Closing Ceremony Equipment and Resources Facilities Meets are often held in school buildings on weekends or evenings. Another possibility for appropriate facilities is a local college or university during semester break. Each room needs an officials' table with two chairs and team tables each with four chairs. Consideration should also be given to spectator seating.
