Each school may enter only one team, consisting of four students.
Teams compete against each other in regular tournament elimination procedure.
Competition order will be arranged prior to beginning of contest according to the bye system. For toss-up questions, each team member chooses two categories in which to answer questions. Everyone may answer Bible and elective questions. If an unqualified team member answers the questions before the judge realizes he was not qualified, then his team loses the toss-up and the points, even if the answer was correct. Questions are taken from PACEs starting with PACE 73 and progressing to more difficult questions with each round.
