Quiz program
Defaulted to 'Varsity quizzing (ages 11-19)', this entry specifies which quizzing program's material and rules will be used to generate quizmeet question sets.
Quizmeet name
Defaulted to a value derived from the current date & time, this entry is optional; its only use is to name files for downloading a quizmeet question set in the form of *.doc, *.qm or *.zip files .
This entry is a great way to help distinguish between multiple quizmeet question sets that might be used at the same event, i.e. the round robin and bracket portions of a tournament.
Question set revision
Defaulted to the latest BQF question set, this selection specifies which BQF question set revision is used to generate the quizmeet.
Quizzes per meet
This selection specifies how many quizzes will comprise the producedquizmeet question set.
Note that the same question will never appear twice within the quizzes of a single quizmeet question set but can, and very likely will, appear more than once in the question sets of different quizmeets.
Questions per quiz
This selection specifies how many questions will comprise each quiz in the produced quizmeet question set.
Material selection
These selections specify which chapters (or verses) are "new" material - those selected in the left hand-list, and "old" material - those selected in the right-hand list.
Any chapter (or verse) not selected in either list will be omitted from the produced quizmeet question set.
While individual verses may be selected as new or old material, or entirely omitted, doing so precludes the option to "Include stat's with question counts and distribution".
The reason is that question statistics and distribution analysis are based on complete chapters and their representation within quizzes and quizmeets.
%new & %old
These selections specify a percentage for the representation of "new" and "old" material (described above) within each quiz and the quizmeet as a whole.
So, for example, if an 80% / 20% split is selected for a quizmeet question set with a total of 100 questions per quiz then each quiz would be comprised of 80 questions derived from "new" material and 20 questions derived from "old" material.
Lift quote restrictions
Sometimes, due to the rules for creating questions, certain chapters have a large
percentage of verses that have only quote questions; no interrogative questions.
When that happens, these 'quote only' verses can be underrepresented in a quizmeet
question set.
To address this issue the quote restriction on such chapters may be lifted, allowing quotes to
come up, for those chapters, as often as they are randomly selected.
This assures that the totality of a chapter will be fairly and evenly
represented in quizmeets.
Practice drill (all verses included)
This option allows the creation of a single quiz quizmeet whose questions encompass all of the selected material. As such, there is no differentiation between "old"
and "new" material nor weighting of the same. Additionally, since all selected material is included in the generated question set, no question counts or distribution
statistics are available.
Quotes only (no interrogative questions)
This option allows the creation of a quizmeet whose questions are only "quote" questions; no interrogative questions (who, what, when, where, why, how, ...) will be used.
Color / Black & White
This option specifies whether the quizmeet question set is rendered in Color or Black & White. Even if a printer does not support color printing, the color
rendering will print just fine on most printers.
The color scheme uses distinct colors (for question text, optional question text, optional question forms, answer text, optional answer text and verse text) to assist the
quizmaster in quickly locating information.
Font
This option specifies the font size used to render questions, answers and verse text.
Include stats with question counts and distribution
This option allows a set of detailed question occurrence statistics to be included in the generated quizmeet. Question counts per chapter are shown for the quizmeet, each
quiz, and each quiz quintile.
Underline mismatched question/verse words
This option causes words in questions to be underlined if they do not exactly match words in the associated verse. As a result, quizmasters can quickly determine if quizzer
spoken words need further scrutiny or if they were simple tense or conjugation variances.
