- All local contestants will quote the verses on a designated day, chosen by the local Sunday School Superintendent, to contest representatives chosen by the local church to regulate the contest.
- The contest representatives will record the number of verses quoted, the number of prompts given, and the number of mistakes made.
- The entire list of participants and results will be sent to the ICFG Memory Verse Coordinator.
- The winners will be determined by the highest number of verses quoted correctly.
- Any version of the Bible may be used but it must be a translation, not a paraphrase.
Specific Rules:
