Frequently asked questions Can we have a mixed team (classes, grades)? ABSOLUTELY! We prefer teams be mixed between classes and grades. Does each member have to read a set number of books? Ideally, each member will read 2-3 books from the list. However, your team will decide who reads which books. The more people who read the books, the better the chances your team will know the answers to the questions.

Frequently asked questions What happens if a team member drops out? We hope this doesn’t happen. But, if it does, your team carries on. If your team becomes too small, you will be placed on other teams. When will the Battles take place? Battles will take place in March. Will we battle Prairie Waters? You bet! We have to defend our title!
