Purpose of Competition
1. National Apostolic Christian School Competition (NACSC) is held annually in order to bring Apostolic Church-Schools together for fellowship and to promote academic, social and spiritual qualities.
2. The Christian School movement has grown greatly. The Apostolic music program as well as other competitive events is unlike any other competition programs.
3. For the past many years, Christian Education has grown at an unbelievable rate. Barriers have been broken because of this educational approach. The sharing of ideas and assistance has generated co-operation among many people which will continually build and develop our Christian School program. Utilizing this same concept, we have the greatest opportunity of pulling down walls, building bridges, and creating a revival atmosphere with rallies, fellowships, and competitions. Let us make each year a rewarding experience of competition and fellowship with old and new friends.
Awards
First, second and third place winners will be recognized in each event category. Winners will generally be recognized during morning devotions the day after competitive event has been judged.
An Outstanding Student Award will be given to the top ten students in the entire competition. The award will be based on individual points earned. Points will be: 5 for gold, 3 for silver, and 1 for bronze.
Quantity of awards given for an event will be listed on that event’s rule page. The general rule will be 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze for each category. The exception will be team events.

ORATORY OF BIBLICAL TEXT
The contestant chooses one topic and presents his/her arguments orally. Each contestant in Oratory must provide the judges with a typewritten copy of the outline of their oration. The outline must be in a clear plastic folder with the student’s name, ID#, school name, and school ID# clearly visible on the front.
Two age categories: 13-15 and 16-18
Only 3 students per category per school.
Maximum time limit is six (6) minutes. A five point deduction will be taken for each minute beyond six minutes up to a maximum of 10 points.
Content of speech must be original and prepared by the contestant. Plagiarism of any kind will automatically disqualify the contestant. Contestant can not select a topic which would require them to practice an evil personality.
Contestants my hold a legal pad with notes.
HINTS FROM PAST JUDGES
In oral arguments, the contestant simulates a lawyer’s summary of his side’s viewpoint at the conclusion of a case. For that reason, the actual content and logic of your presentation are more important than your delivery. Poor delivery can detract severely from a good outline. Your content should be based on scriptural opinion or emotional appeal. In making your delivery, speak deliberately and persuasively without being antagonistic. At the same time, you should also try to use variety in movement, gesture, and voice inflection. Persuade—do not preach.

BIBLE QUIZZING
Bible quizzing is a team effort. A team may consist of five to seven members, but only three may perform at a time. Three team members meet at the quiz table, each having access to a buzzer.
All questions will be 10 points each. Questions will be numbered 1-25, and each judge will have a set of questions with which to follow along as the quiz master reads the questions.
There will be no conferring with one another, except whether or not to challenge and ten seconds to prepare an answer to a challenge.
The player who hits the buzzer first within five (5) seconds of completion of question and causes the light to come on will be recognized and allowed to answer the question. A player will have five (5) seconds to start his answer after being recognized and thirty (30) seconds to complete his answer. A player does not have to wait for the completion of the question to ring in but may interrupt the reading of the question and be recognized to answer the question. If the question is answered correctly, his team will be awarded the appropriate points.
If the question is answered incorrectly, the opposite team may challenge the answer. If the first team’s answer is found to be wrong, the quiz master will repeat the question for the challenging team. If the challenging team answers correctly, they will be awarded the 10 points. If the challenging team answers incorrectly, neither team will gain any points for that question.
If the buzzer sounds before the question is completed, the team who rings in first does not need to complete the question, they only need to give an answer. If they answer incorrectly, the question will be repeated in its entirety for the opposing team.
After 25 questions have been asked, the team with the most points is the winner. Twenty-five questions asked will end the contest. If neither team has any points after 25 questions, both teams will be disqualified. In the event of a tie at the end of 25 questions, the contest will be decided by sudden death with one final question. If a team reaches 100 points before the 25 questions have been asked, that team wins the contest.
Quotation questions must be answered word-for-word without any paraphrasing.
No subs are allowed until the question has been answered.
All challenges must be made at the time of the question.
25 Questions- the team with the most points wins.
No talking between coaches and players during the game- “Except during a time out.”
A team may have three (3) time-outs during a game. These time-outs can be to pray, substitute or be coached. A time-out can only last one minute.
The official’s word is final. Officials will be:
1 Timekeeper
1 Quiz Master
2 Judges
2 Scorekeepers
Score will be posted for audience viewing.
Each team must provide one adult to work in one of the above named official capacities in games other than games in which their team will participate. Person selected from each school must be well versed in the rules.

SCRIPTURE MEMORIZATION
Scripture memorization will be divided into two age categories: 13, 14,15 and 16,17,18.
Only the King James Version of the Bible will be acceptable for memorization. Each contestant must submit a typewritten copy of scriptures by book, chapter, and verse to the judge before beginning. Typewritten copy must be in easily read type, double spaced, and be not less than a 14 point font. Verses may be copied from a King James Version computer program such as Quick Verse.
Example:
Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one
accord in one place.
Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty
wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Scriptures must be said in the order typed, but do not necessarily have to begin in Genesis and end in Revelation. The order may be of the contestant’s choosing. Contestants may skip a scripture and continue with their typewritten list, but the skipped scripture may not be returned to at a later time.
After contestant announces the book, chapter, and beginning verse that he/she will recite, the contestant will proceed at once with the recitation.
Time allowable for delay is fifteen seconds. The judge will then give help of one word and, student must receive that word and proceed.
One help can be given in ten verses, and whenever two helps are required in a ten verse spread, the student disqualifies himself. The help may be a book, chapter, verse or word reference.
A minimum of 50 verses quoted successfully for younger age group must be obtained to qualify for a medal.
A minimum of 100 verses quoted successfully for older age group must be obtained to qualify for a medal.
No reference notes of any kind may be used.
Student may only take a break for water, which will be provided in the room. If student is still quoting after one hour has lapsed, the student may, if desired, take a restroom break. Student will be accompanied by someone, other than parents, coaches, and peers. Break will last only as long as necessary. Students may not confer with anyone concerning their quotation and may not refer to any notes.
CREATIVE ESSAY WRITING
A contestant in this category chooses a Christian, social or patriotic topic and writes a PERSUASIVE paper. A good persuasive essay will use facts, arguments, examples, and illustrations that allow the reader to persuade himself of the truth he is reading.
The essay must have been written after termination of the national competition of the previous year and must be the original and authentic work of the student. Plagiarism of any kind will automatically disqualify the entry. The supervisor or teacher must require student authors to write a significant portion of the essay during school hours to verify authenticity. Only one essay per contestant is allowed.
The essay must be no less than 500 words and no more than 700 words. Essay must be typed, double-spaced, and on plain white paper. Type must be a standard 14-point font. No script fonts permitted. Three (3) copies of essay must be submitted. One copy must be in a clear plastic folder with the student’s identification number and school identification number clearly visible on the front.
Bibliography is required with all three copies. The other two copies should have all proper information but must be stapled instead of being placed in a clear plastic folder. Bibliography is required with all three copies.
Three copies of writing entries must be mailed to competition office with judging forms no later than May 1st. The office will retain one copy, and two copies will be sent to judges. Writing events will be judged prior to competition time with score tabulated at competition. Competition office will notify each school by fax or e-mail of receipt of entries.

SHORT STORY
A contestant in this category shall write a fiction/truthful narrative with Christian, social or patriotic theme. Only one short story per contestant is allowed. The short story shall be not less than 500 words and not more than 1,000 words.
Short story entry must be typed double-spaced in an easily read style of not less than a 14-point font. No script fonts permitted. Three copies of entry must be mailed to the competition office no later than April 17th. All copies should be identified on a cover sheet by title with only student’s ID# and school’s ID#. One copy should be presented in a clear plastic binder and the remaining two copies should be stapled.
HINTS FOR WRITING A SHORT STORY
Have the story and its conclusion fully in mind before beginning writing. Decide what will be the basic conflict. Decide from whose point of view the story will be told.
Where will the story begin? Will some or all of it be told in retrospect? Do you want to plunge right in, or would you rather build up from an introduction?
How will you handle your story? Will a first person narrator simply tell the situation, or will someone else be telling the story?
Remember that your short story should contain situation, complications, climax, and conclusion. Be sure to dramatize important incidents, not simply narrate them.
Try to foreshadow what is to come. Leave hints which will perhaps take on meaning later. This is particularly important if you decide to try a surprise ending.
At least one or two characters should be developed fully. The reader should be able to know the character by the end of the story.
Plan how you will identify time and/or place. This is your setting. Are you trying to create a mood or atmosphere? If the setting is a major role in the action, be sure it is adequately described.
Points to check before submitting your story:
Does your story say what you want it to say?
Have you used specific detail throughout?
Is the dialogue realistic?
Does the plot hold a readers interest throughout?
Do at least some of the characters seem like real people?

Many websites submitted in the past have been non-functional or had key elements missing due to the improper transfer or copying to the media that was submitted to the judges. If using R/W CD media, be sure to finalize the CD. Make sure to verify that your final entry will run from the media you will submit on a computer that was not used in the site development to ensure it will function properly for the judges. If a student’s site cannot be opened from the media provided, it cannot be judged and will be disqualified.
6. The main Site address link or file name of the opening page must be included on judge’s form.

Only common, safe plug-ins may be used or called by the pages.

CRITERIA
Structure
Navigation of Site – The site should be easy to use and navigate. User should know where he is and have the ability to get to another location in the site with ease via page or menu links.
Creativity – The site will be evaluated for creativity in the areas of uniqueness, content, approach to the material and method of engagement. Cookie-cutter sites from the same school will not fare well.
“Logical” Connection – The site must be logical and make sense to specific users. What may be logical to one user may leave another totally lost. For example: A site developed for teens would be very different from one for retirees, just as one for travel is very different from one on finance.
Engaging – The site should be attractive, pleasing, interesting, and beneficial. The time an average user will give is a matter of seconds unless it engages the viewer visually and mentally.
Elements (Variety and Appropriateness) – The site should contain enough variety to hold interest while maintaining an overall consistency which reflects the purpose and desired image of the site. It should conform to the Biblical values and overall competition guidelines regarding appropriateness of subject matter, substance, graphics, etc.
Browser Friendly – The site should be fully functional on multiple browsers and viewable on as many computers as possible. Several browsers are in wide use; however, the older the browser that can access your site, the less robust the elements and the more limited the creativity.
Graphic Design – The site should follow generally accepted Internet standards regarding presentation. Some of these regard font styles, spacing, overlay, and other aspects of the presentation. (There are helpful sites on the Web to learn about these items.)
CONTENT
Clear – For the site to be effective, the content must be clear in its presentation, navigation, functionality and purpose.
Appropriate – The content of the site should meet competition guidelines and standards and be appropriate for its intended purpose.
Accomplishes Goals – The user should be able to understand and receive benefit from the purpose of the site as intended by the developer. If this doesn’t happen, the user will probably leave quickly, and information will not be imparted, and ideas will not be communicated.

HINTS FROM THE JUDGES
Size is not part of the judging criteria! More is not necessarily better. It is important that a site distinguish itself through quality and value to the user as compared to other sites competing for the same audience. The point values in judging are weighted in favor of the structural organization because that is essential to site functionality and usefulness. Poor content is changeable, but poor design is the death of a site.
