Quizzing in Belgium or Belgian Style Quizzing is the Belgian variant of the British Pub Quiz Nights or Quiz Bowls. The mind sport has a long tradition in Belgian (though, mostly Flemish) culture and is a popular pastime. Similar to a Pub quiz or a Quiz Bowl, it's a team competition in which the team that answers the most questions correctly wins the quiz. Questions are mainly pure knowledge questions on all topics of human knowledge, such as history, geography, arts & culture, media, literature, film, music, theatre, science, nature, sports etc... Due to some high level competitions, Belgian Style Quizzing has become internationally renowned for its difficult question setting. ==Belgian Quiz Format== Although the Belgian quiz format is not fixed and quiz organizations will try to be as inventive as possible to maximize the quizzing pleasure, a typical Belgian Style quiz will go somewhat as follows: A quiz is played by 20-50 teams of 4-6 people each. It starts at 8pm and typically finishes around 12pm. A quiz is played in rounds of 10-15 questions each and features 140-180 questions in total. Most questions are read out loud, sometimes supported by handout material and audio tracks, possibly video material shown on a projection screen. Each team writes down their best and final answers on the provided answer sheets, which are collected at the end of each round. Typically, a round ends with a music track and the last question will be 'name the artist', which provides some time to fill in the last blanks. These answer sheets are corrected by the jury, and subtotals are read out a couple of times as the evening progresses. Plain rounds feature questions that are unrelated, but vary in covered topics. A 10-question round will feature e.g. one question each on history, geography, arts and culture, literature, media, sports, cinema, science, nature, and music. Apart from these ‘plain’ rounds a wide range of 'special rounds' are played. Some examples: *ABC-rounds: 26 questions are asked, each answer starting with another letter of the alphabet. Questions are not necessarily put in the right order, i.e. the first answer is not always the one starting with A, etc. *Link rounds: every answer is also a world capital, or part of each answer is an animal or color (inventive quiz teams will come up with more interesting, or amusing links) *Acrostic round: The first or last letters of the correct answers in this round form an acrostic *Theme round: every question is linked to a certain theme, e.g. a historical figure *Super rounds: A special final round at the end of the quiz, often more difficult than the rest of the quiz: In each covered topic, 3 questions are asked: The A-question is easy (1 point), the B-question is harder (2 points) and the C-question is very hard (3 points). Teams will have to choose which question they answer, and will receive the corresponding number of points. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quizzing in Belgium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
