Bible Bee Locals!

Wha-a?

Where does it say that (about 150 questions for Juniors)?! Of course they would change it the year that I move up to Seniors! And I have trouble finishing the test on time, so that would have been really nice :P.

I saw. Maybe they're trying to make it easier for those who have never done it before.

Is this on the Bible Bee website?

Yikes. 0.o

It's in the beginning of the Rulebook.

Juniors also have only 150 questions on the test at Locals now. xP

When I read that, I looked over at Rachel and sai, "Lucky."

The rulebook says "book" for Locals, and "passage" for Nationals.

Last year they had the same thing. :P

And the year before that too, right? And in 2013 we were thinking it might be John 15-17. :P

Yeah.

Is gonna be August 8th!

You must have missed the hype. We've known that for days. :P

Anyone notice on the website that slide 3 of the map is Scotland? Hopefully that isn't a hint of where Nationals will be next year…

Actually, my guess is that it is because the McMahans originally came from Scotland so they have a soft spot for it, but it doesn't make a lot of sense for a Bible Bee locals map, since non US citizens can't compete for Nationals.

Interesting… :P

The Ma____ are on one of the slides!!!

No registration fee for Local hosts this year. Interesting. :P

They're probably just wanting more people to do it. :)

Wow, really? Like LOCAL hosts, or proctor??

EDIT: Nevermind, I checked.

Yeah, they actually started that switchover last year, if I recall correctly.

That's not new. :) They had a fee at first, but then made it free, and refunded it to all the hosts who had already registered.

Ah, I see. :)

Has anyone else signed up to host? We have! :)

We have!!!!!! :D

Yay!!!

I think we have! =D

Looks to me like our local host has signed up… there's a dot near SA xD

Most of the Bees registered so far are Awana Bees. There are three plain ol' Local Bees in the whole country, unless there's one in HI… And what is a full Bible Bee? And why is it in what appears to be somewhere near Old Town, FL?

That's weird…

The ones that are just yellow with no blue ring around them aren't necessarily Awana bees, that just means they aren't verified yet. There's only one that shows up as an Awana bee and it's the uppermost one in FL. A "full" bee is when you reach the amount of contestants you said you could host. So if you registered to host up to 50 contestants, your bee will show up as full if 50 contestants have signed up at your spot. But, I don't see any listed as full right now…

I see… I was worried that 'full' meant like Nationals or something…. There was one full.

I guess I missed the fact about the blue ring. I thought all the yellows were Awana bees. x)

Where were you on the evening of January 23rd?

Ahh, I see. =) Are you looking at the one that says it's in Largo, FL? If so, that's an Awana bee, not one that's full. There shouldn't really be any that are full yet, because no one can register as a contestant. (Not like their thing couldn't have broke though.)

Yeah, their thing is kinda confusing since they don't have the pending bee bubble thing in the legend.

Yeah, it must have broken. They were listed as 'full' for at least three days. In Largo, huh? We know some people there- in fact, we were staying with them on April 1st last year. I wonder if they'll be doing it this year…

Okay. Oh, that's neat! You can click on it and at least see who the host is.

Now the website says, "Encourage memorization of Scripture with just two to three passages each week." Didn't last year it say just two because there were 24 passages and 12 weeks?

Yeup. I wonder how many verses they'll give us this year, then…

They've changed the Nationals page…it says 2015 now. No location that I can see, though.

Says details coming soon! :D

Yay! I hope it is really soon!

BTW, I don't know if I've told you this, but I like your profile pic :D.

In reply to Rachel

I hope it's really soon too! :D :D

Hehe!! I like it too ;) I hope you don't mind we having the same picture. ;D

Yeup. I wonder how many verses they'll give us this year, then...

Me too… :)

EDIT: I just realized that since there's less weeks, of course you would have to do more than two passages a week!

Is the BB website not working for anyone else besides me?

It wasn't working for me earlier, but now it is. :)

Yup, now it is for me, too. :)

I was hoping they were updating it, but I don't see anything different. :P

I was hoping that, too! :)

I hope there will be a bee near us, cause then I might do it!

You can always take the test online :)

Any guesses as to what is going on in my new profile pic?!?! :)

EDIT – This is what my profile picture is/was:
