By Jonathan Page, Jackson County 4-H Educator A seasonal tournament of champions, the Elite NE 4-H Trivia Tournament is an opportunity for counties to come together in a fun, relaxed environment and match wits over who knows more about a wide variety of topics. Normally held in per son at the campus of North Georgia Technical College in Clarkesville, the tourna ment moved to an online format for its Fall 2020 match which was held on November 10. Covering a wide vari ety of topics ranging from agriculture to movies, pop culture, history, space, 4-H and more, this tournament requires all kinds of knowl edge. Originally begun as the Tri-County Trivia Tourna ment between Hall. Haber sham and White counties in 2018, the tournament has since grown, with nine counties (Barrow, Habersh am. Jackson. Jasper, Mon roe, Madison. Oglethorpe, Rabun and White) partic ipating in the November match. The teams compete for bragging rights as well as a traveling Trivia Trophy, which is held by the win ning county until the next match. During the in-person tournaments, there would be music and dancing in addition to service projects during the half-time break. Teams are also encour aged to have unique or themed team names. Some teams that attended the recent tournament were Monroe County’s Risky Quizzness, “I’m doing this for a Klondike Bar!” from White County, and The Untouchables from Jasper County. Jackson Coun ty was represented by the Bucket Heads: Caroline Phillips, Emily Edwards, Charlotte Oesterle and Sky- lar Byrum. For the online tourna ment, rules were modified and allowances needed to be made to ensure a fun en vironment while also main taining a sense of fairness. Each county could register a maximum of two teams of 3-4 youth each. Teams could be hosted at their lo cal 4-H office or Zoom from their homes, depending on the local set-up. Teams were reminded not to use technol ogy for anything other than submitting answers or ask ing questions of the moder ators. Questions were present ed using a PowerPoint over Zoom which was managed by organizer Jonathan Page of Jackson County 4-H while scoring was handled by Renee Smagur of Haber sham County 4-H. Google forms were used to answer submission. Teams would list their team name, an swers for each of the round questions, and what points they wanted for each answer and then submit it at the end of the round. The fall 2020 tournament featured 11 teams from nine counties in a close pitched battle through the topics of agriculture, world history, flag identification, fast food. Disney, famous 4-H’ers and logic. In the end, the Rabun County Rhinestone Cow boys Band were victorious and will be holders of the trivia trophy until the next tournament. Jackson Coun ty 4-H’s Bucket Heads came in second place followed by a tie for third between Monroe County’s Risky Quizzness and Oglethorpe County’s Team Oglethorpe.
