Cloverbowl
Clover Bowl at State 4-H Roundup
Objective
The objective of the Clover Bowl is to provide an opportunity for youth enrolled in 4-H to develop and demonstrate their knowledge of 4-H history in a competitive setting where attitudes of friendliness and fairness prevail.
Game Rules
- Points are awarded for correct answers to questions asked by the Moderator. Points are not subtracted for incorrect answers.
- There are two types of questions in each match:
- Toss-up questions – fifteen questions worth ten points each per round in rounds one and three.
- Lightning Round questions – ten related questions worth ten points each answered in sixty seconds or less.
- The first response given is the one that counts.
- If the participant responding to the question gives more information than is needed to answer the question, the additional information must be correct. This situation is likely to occur when a participant interrupts the reading of a question to answer quickly. The Chief Judge will be the final arbitrator on the acceptability of the answer.
- Only the Chief Judge will have access to reference books during the competition.
- Any videotaping and/or tape recording of the competition is prohibited.
Contestants and Eligibility
- All participants must be Oklahoma 4-H Roundup delegates representing their county. Each county may enter as many teams as it considers appropriate for the good of the county program. Each team must consist of four members.
- There will not be separate competitions for intermediate and senior youth. Intermediate teams, senior teams, and teams made up of both intermediate and senior youth will compete in the same category for 4-H Roundup awards.
- 4-H members who have served as State 4-H Ambassadors for one year or more as of the time of Roundup are ineligible to participate.
