MECHANICS OF THE CONTEST
A. SCIENCE QUIZ BEE

1. This contest aims to enhance development of critical science thinking skills of the
students.
2. Each district will have 2 contestants per grade level (Grades 3 to 6), while in the
secondary level, all schools are allowed to send one (1) participant (Grades 7-12).
3. The coverage of the quiz is based on K to 12 learning competencies.
4. There will be two (2) phases in this event.
5. Phase 1 is an elimination round where contestants shall be given a 35- item
written test for the elementary level and 50-item test for the secondary level. The
15 highest scorers from the secondary level and the highest scorers from the
elementary level will remain for the Phase 2.
In phase 2, the Quiz Master will ask 3 sets of questions: 5 questions each for easy,
average and difficult with 1point, 2 points and 3 points respectively.
6. In the second phase, these rules shall apply:
a. English shall be the official language in the conduct of the Quiz in all levels.
b. The quiz master shall read each question twice and the time shall start
only after the quiz master says "go."
c. Each question must be answered within the time allocated ten (10)
seconds for easy questions, twenty (20) seconds for average questions
and thirty (30) seconds for difficult questions. If a contestant wishes to
change his answer, the former answer should be crossed-out and must
encircle the final answer.
d. Use of calculators shall not be allowed.
e. In this phase, each contestant shall be provided with a sheet of paper
where to write the answer.

h. Any form of coaching from the audience or the coaches to the contestants
during the actual quiz shall be a ground for disqualification of the
contestant being coached.
i. After the two phases, all points shall be added to determine the winner.
j. In case of a tie, a clincher round shall be administered. The first contestant
who answers the question correctly shall be declared winner.
k. Wrong spelling is wrong and therefore shall not be given a corresponding
point.
l. The decisions of the Board of Judges are final and irrevocable.

B. SCIENCE AND ARTS

1. SCI-MATH CHESS
Sci-Math Chess is a two-player strategy board game played on a chessboard, a
checkered game board with 64 squares arranged in an eight by eight grid.
For the procedures on how Sci-Math Chess is being played, please click on the link
for detailed steps. https://www.slideshare.net/TimoyCajes/scimath-chess-rules-
and-mechanics
Game Mechanics
a. One participant for Board 1 and one participant for Board 2 for boys and
girls. Two boys/2 girls for the elementary and secondary level.
b. Double elimination will be followed as a standard of rule of elimination.
Other system may apply upon the agreement of the coaches.
c. One hour as a total time is given to the players (30 minutes for each
player).
d. A point system will apply to determine who wins the game.
e. The game ends when….
i. the highest official is captured
ii. The time allocation was consumed or lapses
iii. The opponent commits 2 illegal moves.
f. In the event of a stalemate (no more moves) point system will apply. Each
player will count their points and whoever has the highest score wins the
game.
g. In the event of perpetual moves (both players move the same location
and pieces five times) each player will count their points and whoever has
the highest score wins the game.
h. When the time lapses or the opponent timer drops, the highest official
will be considered captured by the opponent.
i. In the event of an illegal move, a 15-point deduction will be given to the
player who committed the illegal move and the piece that was moved
illegally will be returned to the original location. On the second illegal
move, the highest official will be considered captured by the opponent.
j. In the event that there will be no movement, but the score is tied, there
will be no another game for the two players.
k. There will be no CHECK and OPEN CHECK for this game. You can directly
capture the highest official whenever possible.
