What are disk tournaments?
Students work as a team on the multiple choice questions. At the conclusion of the competition a score and scoring code report is returned to the OAAC office. The competition must be completed in one setting. The information needed to submit the score for competition is only given the first time the disk is used. The disk may be kept for practice. Each question is timed. Most competitions will require 45-60 minutes to complete.
The disks are available for IBM compatible computers only and will run under Windows 3.1, Windows '95 and '98 and 2000.
There are five separate competitions.
Team make-up may change for each tournament.
The number of students on the team is not limited.
Students compete at their home site.
For the 2001-2002 competition year all five tournaments will be shipped at
the same time on one CD or 5 floppy disks - Results will be due back at
different dates throughout the year.
