Each school can send two teams consisting of 3 students. 

All Black Saga participants are encouraged to attend the competitions.These are the instructions for the competitions:

The Black Saga Competition will consist of 10 rounds. In each round, all teams are asked the same question. Teams have 20 seconds to write their answers unless they are told otherwise. A team may ask for a question to be repeated or request a word in the question to be spelled only two times. The request must be made immediately.After the question is repeated or the word is spelled, the team will have the remainder of the 20 seconds in which to answer. The correct answer will then be given and the scores tallied.At the end of all Rounds, the points for each team will be totaled and the teams continuing the finals will be announced.

In the case of a tie, we will have tiebreaker questions. All ties will be broken before any placements are announced.Teams are encouraged to listen carefully to each question using complete and correct terminology in their answers. For example, teams should say Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. rather than “King” and Harriet Tubman rather than “Tubman.” Teams are encouraged to use the first and last names of individuals. Shortened forms of certain names may be acceptable to our judges, but teams should give the full and most accurate name(s). No team will be penalized for inaccurate pronunciation so long as it can be determined that they know the correct answer.
