Questions are arranged randomly and will be asked in the order provided. Since the difficulty of the questions is predetermined, complaints about the order of the questions will not be accepted and can result in the disqualification of a team. Late arrivals: At the district and regional levels, if all teams are not present by the designated starting time of the competition, we will wait five minutes to begin the Battle. Teams arriving after the five-minute period will be allowed to join the competition in progress, but will not have the opportunity to “make up” any missed rounds of questions. Ties: If there is a tie, the competition will be continued until winning teams have been determined. There will be first, second, and third-place winners. The winners of the district competition will go on to compete at the regional level. When 1 team misses a question during tie-breaker rounds, the remaining teams must answer the next question(s) correctly in order for the first team to be dropped.
