Tomorrow is the Battle of the Books (BOB) tourney at my school.
BOB is a club where there's 16 books that your team (3-4 people make up a team) has to read. Then there's a school tourney where you're asked a bunch of questions about the books.
For instance if the question was, 'In which book did a boy become a Dragon Rider?", you'd get 45 seconds to answer, 'Eragon, by Christopher Paolini."
You get 2 points for the correct title and 3 points for the correct author. If you don't answer correctly, the other team gets a chance to answer it for bonus points. If you answer incorrectly but can prove that it happens in the book that you said, you can get the points for it. It's pretty fun. Last year my team got second at the school tourney and got to go on to city.
