A tie-breaker round may draw questions from the other categories or outside the Study Guide.\n  HOW DO WE JOIN THE FUN?\n  WQ teams are composed of students\, friends\, business associates and individuals of all ages.\n  Students can get in on the action by forming 4-person teams who may compete to go to national AWQ or up to 8-person teams who compete for fun and experience.  The first team from each high school is free (new this year!) thanks to corporate sponsorship.  Additional teams can register at a cost of $250 for a team of 4 or $400 for a team of 8.\n  Corporate-sponsored tables of up to 8 people cost $500\, and may combine corporate players as well as others. Please let us know if you’d rather sponsor a student team or would like to sponsor students to join your table!\n  Individuals are invited to play at a cost of $35 for WAC members or $50 for non-members. We’ll match you with other top-notch teammates.\n  Do you want to cheer on a team but keep your own brilliance under wraps? Observers can watch the fun and enjoy the snacks for $15.\n\n
