Grade Divisions (grade as of September 1 current year) Each team must have a minimum of 3 team members. Four team members is best. One alternate is allowed. Junior Team: 3rd-7th Grade Senior Team: 8th-12th Grade Suggested Appropriate Dress: Snappy casual, including a 4-H T-Shirt or attire appropriate for a 4-H contest. Team uniforms are encouraged but not required. Awards: Awards will be presented to the 1 st 5th place teams in each age division. Sample Clover Bowl questions can be found here: RULES: Game Rules A. Points are awarded for correct answers to questions asked by the moderator. Points are not subtracted for incorrect answers. B. There are two types of questions in each match: 1. Toss-up questions fifteen questions worth ten points each per round in rounds one and three. 2. Lightening Round questions ten related questions worth ten points each answered in sixty seconds or less. C. The first response given is the one that counts. D. If the participant responding to the question gives more information than is needed to answer the questions, the additional information must be correct. This situation is likely to occur when a participant has interrupted the reading of a question in order to answer quickly. The chief judge will be the final arbitrator on the acceptability of the answer. E. Only the chief judge will have access to reference books during competition. F. Any videotaping and/or tape recording of the competition is prohibited. Game Procedures Round 1 A. There are fifteen toss-up questions in the first round. 1. Toss-up questions are worth ten points each. 2. After the chief judge has read the question, the students will have five seconds in which to activate their buzzer. 3. The participant must answer the toss-up question without conferring with other team members. 4. Use of hand signals to transfer answers will not be allowed. 5. Once buzzing in, the participant must begin their answer immediately. The moderator will allow for a natural pause, but will not allow for stalling. 6. Each moderator s interpretation of a natural pause will vary slightly; however, it is normally a fairly quick four count: 1, 2, 3, If the moderator determines a time period longer than a natural pause has elapsed and the player gives an answer after that time has been called, the answer will not count. 8. It is not necessary for players to wait until a tossup question has been read in its entirety by the moderator to signal their readiness to answer the question. However, the moderator will stop reading immediately when a participant s signal is received. 9. If the moderator is interrupted while reading a question and the recognized player gives an incorrect response or does not answer within the brief pause allowed by the moderator, the moderator will complete the question for the opposing team and the five second time allotment will then be given. 10. If the answering participant gives an incorrect answer or does not answer within the brief pause allowed by the moderator, and if the five second time allotment has been depleted, the moderator will call on the opposing team for an immediate answer. 11. If the first team answers incorrectly, the opposing team has the opportunity to signal and to answer the question. 12. After the question has been completed, five seconds will be given for response time. If neither team has answered in that five-second time or if both teams answer incorrectly, the moderator will read the correct answer and go to the next question. Neither team will receive points for an unanswered question. 13. Once the question has been completed, the fivesecond clock will not stop. 14. In the event a team buzzes in at the same time the clock time expires, the team will be allowed to respond. If the response is incorrect, the other team will be allowed an opportunity to respond. The moderator will call on the opposing team for an immediate response. The opposing team must buzz in before an answer is given. 15. After both teams have had the opportunity to answer the question, the moderator will give the correct answer. 11

18 Planning 4-H Project Work Plan The Work! Work the Plan! 4-H project work is more than the county activities in this book. It is participation in your local club activities, community service and beyond and it is the work that takes place at home. The lack of quality project work is evident but can be made fantastic with a little planning. Planning means not waiting on someone else to do it for you and following through with the plans you make. 4-H members who plan are more likely to learn important life skills, find what they are passionate about and maybe even win a scholarship some day. The end goal of 4-H is to create well-rounded individuals who can be a contributing member of society. It s not about what you ve won, it s about what you ve done and learned through the process. Beginning with September, after fall enrollment, start outlining the plan month-by-month in general terms, of what you plan to do each month. For Example: October: Leadership Project related to a 4-H promotional event. This is a simple thing to pencil in because National 4-H Week and Oklahoma 4-H Month are held in October. There are lots of opportunities to promote 4-H through displays, posters, flyers, speeches, etc. The tour will be a tour directly related to your chosen project area. November: Community Service Project (This should be very simple to accomplish because November and December provide many opportunities for community service.) The one project to be completed is researching and writing a speech related to your project area. December: Present speech at local club meeting, provided you planned ahead and asked to be on the agenda. April: Do one Community Service Project and 1 more projects related to project area. May: Complete Medal Form or Record Book. June: Attend workshop (summer day camp, livestock judging camp, etc.) and 2 more projects related to project area. July: Participate in a County Activity Camp. Do 2 more projects that are crafts. August: Participate in a County Activity Awards Program and 2 more projects. September: Participate in County Event County Fair exhibiting 12 items (projects) made over the past 11 months (1-2 projects at a time). At the end of the year the member will have accomplished: Participation in: 3 County Competitive Events Healthy Living Fair, Public Speaking Event and County Fair 2 County Activities Camp and Awards Program 2 Community Service Projects 2 Leadership Projects Completed: 12 projects related to main project. 2 educational activities outside of individual study workshop and tour. 2 public speaking opportunities local club and county level. A medal form or record book for project area. Wow, look what has been accomplished without a lot of hassle and last minute pressure. The key is planning your work and work your plan! January: Participate in a county event (i.e., Healthy Living Fair) by completing 3 projects. Two of the three will be related to your main project and the third will just be for fun. February: Participate in Public Speaking Event with speech prepared in November, as well as, doing one more project related to project area. March: Do one Leadership Project and 1 project related to project area. 28
