The teams will then be paired for Round 1 of the SEATA Quiz Bowl. The teams will be paired as follows: Highest scoring vs. lowest scoring, second highest scoring vs. second lowest scoring etc.

  • The third and final tie breaker will be a coin flip.

• If there are an odd number of teams that register for the SEATA Quiz Bowl:
