bible quizzing sponsored by the united pentecostal church international spans throughout north america and allows other countries to participate. it is similar in game format to assemblies of god bible quizzing. the quiz year runs from around january to june for state competitions and through the end of july and beginning of august for national competitions. many teams start studying as early as november. young people are given a list of verses from around 170 verses (for 4-8 year olds), around 280 verses (for 9- to 12-year-olds) and 520 verses (for 13- to 18-year-olds) to memorize verbatim. as the quiz year progresses, each tournament accumulates more material being quizzed over. monthly state tournaments are held during the quiz year. at these tournaments, teams typically compete against each other in double elimination tournaments. during a quiz, two teams face against each other with 3 quizzers on each team sitting at two long tables facing the quizmaster and holding a hand-held buzzer. a team can consist of as few as 2 and as many as 5 quizzers along with either 1 or 2 coaches. the quizmaster reads a question and the first quizzer to buzz in receives the ability to answer that question. quizzers can interrupt the quizmaster, but must finish what the question would have been (if interrupted) then give the answer within 30 seconds. the quiz consists of 20 questions: 8 ten point questions, 9 twenty point questions and 3 thirty point question for the intermediate teams aging from grade 7-grade 9. the juniors have only 15 questions. the national tournament each year is called the north american bible quizzing tournament (nabqt) and alternates location from year to year.

races are organized either as "timed starts," or "mass start." in a timed start, teams start one after another in equal time intervals, competing against the clock rather than directly against one another. this simplifies some logistical considerations such as that of getting many teams of excited sleddogs to the starting line simultaneously. in mass starts, all of the dog teams start simultaneously. mass starts are popular in europe and many parts of canada. some mass start events can have up to 30 teams (300 dogs) start all at once.
