Please suggest an effective system for this discipline-

Three Strikes You’re Out

Finalists have 15 minutes to hear and review facts about 6 different people. The information may include name, date of birth, address, phone number, pet, favorite hobbies, favorite car, and favorite foods. The information will be presented to the MAs both orally and in a Mind Map.

(The event used to be called something like “tea party guests”.)

There’s a random person generator, if you need to practice. Let me know if it needs updating.

In the thread you linked, you said you made it so you could hide the information to test. Can you still do that? I only see the part to hide the telephone number.

I updated it so you can scroll to the bottom and click a button to hide the data and enter your answers. When you’re finished, click the button again to show the data and manually score yourself.

Random Person Generator

(It isn’t be easy to add automated scoring at the moment, without rewriting it.)

Let me know if that works for you, or if anything else would be useful.

Glad to hear that it’s useful. :slight_smile:

it may also be useful to update it so that alma mater is high school, and not college, like in the actual comp.

I can take a look later. Do you have example data? It looks like the example on the website doesn’t include it, but it does include the phone number. It might be outdated.

Josh, everything about that website is outdated. this is an example from the 6 that were used this year. this is how the tea party guests read the data.

you can watch it on youtube for more examples. :slight_smile:

All of that looks doable, except the high school sports teams are more difficult to find in bulk, unless you know of a source or don’t mind having random data there. It looks like Ben Lippin Falcons is a real team.

(The zip codes and movie dates on that page are currently accurate, but the phone number prefixes aren’t.)
