My NIV doesn't say that!

During this Bible Bowl season we learned that "Mary of Magdala" and "Mary Magdelene" are one in the same--it just depends on the copyright of your NIV!

Once upon a time there was apparently a discussion about revisions of the NIV and an agreement was reached to use only the post-1984 copyright of the NIV. However, this has not been much of an issue over the last few years and it has dropped from the forethought of coaches and quizmasters both.

To avoid the confusion and frustration of participants we want to re-establish the importance of using a standard version for teaching and quiz making. LTC rules state the following:

All questions will be drawn from the text of The Holy Bible, New International Version, Copyright 1973, 1978, and 1984 by International Bible Society. Any information in the text may be asked, and some questions may cover information from more than one verse.

Sunset and Hillcrest coaches have agreed to follow the LTC standard and use only post-1984 copyright versions of the NIV when creating questions for competition.

Sunset Had A Great Day At Hillcrest

The Sunset kids had a great day at Hillcrest in Abilene and won 4 trophies! Here are the results:

• 5th place team: Libby, Calley, Noah and Taryn win a team trophy
• 8th place individual: Taryn
• 7th place individual: Libby McNiel
• 6th place individual: Calley Crockett

Sunset has the biggest team in years--20 students! Infact, we had to take the big bus to Abilene. This was the first competition for many of the Sunset students. Although they were a little apprehensive they did great. This was Libby's first year and she won an individual trophy.
