MCQB COACH & TEAM ELIGIBILITY RULES
______Native and heritage language learners are not eligible to compete. For MCQB purposes, a “heritage language learner” is defined as “someone who is from a home where Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese) is spoken by any member of the household, whether or not the student is spoken to directly. Native and heritage students are encouraged to serve as non‐competition volunteers at the MCQB.
_____ Students who have spent a combined total of more than 30 days in a Chinese speaking country are not eligible to compete in the MCQB.
_____ Students in Chinese immersion programs—those who have more than ten hours of Chinese classroom instruction per week (including weekend classes)—are not eligible to compete in the MCQB.
MCQB TEAM REGISTRATION
_____ All coaches will be guaranteed the right to bring up to four teams per division. Please
Contact the staff at the Confucius Institute at Wayne State University, should you wish to bring additional teams.
______A fourth student may attend as an alternate for one designated team only. Alternates may not switch teams.
______An alternate may replace another contestant at the beginning of a competition, but not in the middle of a competition.
______In the event that a student from one team does not show up on the day of the Quiz Bowl, an alternate player from another team who is registered for the same division and from the same school may take the place of the absent player. Any such substitution, however, must be declared during registration and prior to competitions. No further substitutions will then be allowed.
______Alternates may not substitute for more than one team.
IMPORTANT RULE CHANGES FOR 2016 MCQB
_____ For divisions II-IV approximately 30% of questions for each round will be taken from “Learn a Chinese Phrase” videos available on the website, facebook page, and youtube page for Confucius Institute at Wayne State University. Division II participants are responsible for videos 21-50; Division III participants are responsible for videos 21-60; Division IV participants are responsible for videos 21-70. All videos are numbered on the playlists on the “Learn a Chinese Phrase” youtube page hosted by the Confucius Institute at Wayne State University.
_____ Basic geography categories and questions will be provided, but questions will not be read verbatim during 2015 MCQB Matches.
_____ Chinese teachers whose teams participate in the 2016 MCQB will not be asked to serve as judges.
_____ Grievances that involve accusations of cheating or eligibility must be put into writing and signed by a coach before being brought to a grievance committee. The grievance committee should be available in the Media Center.
