Annual North American Bible Quizzing Tournament
Quizzers Poll
Conducted by Chad
L. R. Faubert
October 29, 2001
The Second Annual NABQT Quizzers poll attempts to take a peek into the minds of the
quizzers on the cutting edge of Bible quizzing issues, as well as tap into the
romantic pulse of an event which brings those of both genders together for
nearly a week.
The
data listed below is based on opinion only, and should not be taken personally.
(Unless you are my brother—come on, Russ, shore up on the charisma!) The poll extracted the opinions of 33 quizzers
(out of the approximately 180 quizzers competing in the NABQT) from a wide
demographic, pouring out their hearts, and, in some cases, their humor for the
glory of...actually, for no one’s glory!

Of Course:
-
Soothes the soul.
-
Makes me more studly. (Of course, Kenny!)
-
Gives you a better image.
-
So you can say you had a date.
- Coach threatens for you to save money for the
quizzing fund (get a $20 refund from your date – cost of the banquet ticket,
if already purchased by your coach).
-
So you can have someone to make fun of others with.
-
Of course, I’m waiting for Chad Faubert to ask me. (needless to say, my
favorite!)
Unsure:
-
Never had one before.
-
Not old enough. (Come on, pastor, ease up?!)
Nope:
-
Certain someone not here
-
Because it’s more fun
-
Don’t have a date
-
The ability to hop around/not tied down to one person
-
Dateless is the best
-
It’s a nicety
-
Either way you can have fun
-
Not guilty when being sociable/so I can flirt with every one else (Verrrrry
niiiice!! My second choice!)
-
It’s not necessary
-
It depends on the person
