Nationals at Milligan University

Please note the following changes from previous events at Milligan:

• There is no longer a family housing option available.
• Spectators now have the option of staying off-campus on your own for a reduced cost.
• While we anticipate being able to house everyone on campus who desires to be housed on campus, should the dorm space fill up, please be advised that rooms will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis. Please be aware that this means part of your group could get housing, and part could not as we will use the time-stamp of each person registered. “Registered” means you have completed the online registration process including paying the initial deposit.
• Any price increases are reflective of host cost increases; Bible Bowl fees have not changed.

REFUNDS:

• All refund requests must be made by April 19 and will be refunded minus the 5% fees we are charged and do not get back. After April 19, your depsosit is forfeited; it can be applied to a new registration, but cannot be applied to your final bill.

• There is no family housing available.
• Reminder: You must bring your own linens, pillows, towels, soap, etc. Toilet paper is the ONLY thing provided in the dorms.
• We do not accept requests for specific dorms; dorms are assigned based upon the most efficient use of the space. Thanks for your understanding.
• We will do our best to accommodate medical requests (such as first floor access). If you have a medical request, it may require us to separate you from your group in order to accommodate it. We may not know if this is the case until you arrive.

• The event starts with check-in 6:00p- 8:00p in Sutton (cafeteria) lobby.
• All groups MUST check-in in person from 6:00p-8:00p (even those staying off-campus). Your group will not be included in the schedule if you do not check-in in person during this time.
• There is no on-site registration of new people. Everyone must be registered before you arrive. If you think you’re coming and aren’t registered, you must email us at office@biblebowl.org immediately to confirm space availability. This includes swapping one registered person for another if they are of a different sex.

All groups must certify and sign a statement that background checks have been conducted on all adults (non-players) staying overnight on campus. Your group will not be able to check-in until all adults have provided this. Thank you for your cooperation.

The college has stipulated that the following are not allowed on campus in any form: the possession or use of tobacco products, vaping products, alcohol, illegal drugs, fireworks, firearms, or other weapons of any kind.

Two preliminary Quick-Draw pods, shuffled into a Gold and Silver pod, the results of which are used to seed the main Double-Elimination tournament.

The final format is determined by the number of teams who register and arrive at check-in.

The senior banquet is a time to recognize our seniors. At Milligan, there is an additional charge for this which will be communicated as soon as it is final. All those attending the banquet must also be registered attendees of the event and have food included in their registration. Note: in recent years, the response to the Senior Banquet has not been very robust; should the response not meet the minimum requirements for the banquet, it will be cancelled.

We have several evening activities planned for your enjoyment! Among them are 3-on-3 basketball, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, euchre, and trivia.

Swimming will be available as a free time activity. For those who choose to swim, here is the swimming policy: For ladies, your stomach must be covered while standing, and no halter or strapless tops are permitted; for the guys, shorts must reach midway on the thigh. Going to/from the pool: Ladies must wear a swimsuit cover and guys must wear t-shirts with their shorts.

• Buzzer boards
• Bedsheets, pillow, etc.
• Towels
• Toiletries
• Swimming attire (see policy above)
• Sports attire if you choose to participate

Exact format TBA.

We will be using live scoring again, but EVERYONE MUST USE THE SCORE-PRO MODULE INSIDE THE BIBLE QUIZZER APP. Install the Bible Quizzer App, then tap Purchase, then find the Free Score-Pro module for Bible Bowl.
