Helpful Hints
n Listen carefully to the question. Is it asking for the title of the book or the name of a character? Did the question ask for both a first and last name?
n There are 3 ways to answer a question about a Battle character.
o If the question asks for the first and last name, both have to be correct.
o If the question asks “Name the Battle character,” you need to give a name such as “Mr. Berger” You may give both the first and last names, but both names need to be correct. Saying “the neighbor” rather than a name would not be correct.
o If the question asks “What Battle character” any identifying name or title would be acceptable.
n When giving a title, use the complete title as listed on our Battle Booklist, such as “Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians.” Just saying “Alcatraz” is not acceptable.
n We will not ask for more information if your answer is incomplete. However, be careful to not give so much information that part of your answer is wrong.
n Multiple Choice and True/False questions will be used during Written Battles as tie-breakers for Oral Battles. Many questions can be rewritten in these formats. Here are tow examples:
