Hey everyone! I'm in Utah, and we're trying to get a scene started. We have 3 venues that want to run tournaments and events, but we don't have an official TO. A bunch of us in the region have tried passing the Organizer quiz, but none of us have passed. I have 2 concerns: First off, are the questions for Burst or X rules? At least one of the questions is only possible using the rules for Burst, but I would think that we would want to focus on making sure the new TOs knew the rules for X. Maybe some of the mods can just double-check that the quiz is well-written and correct. Second off, I understand the point of not going in-depth with why people failed the quiz because that would just take too much time. However, can we at least make it clear what "passing" the quiz means? Do you need 100% to pass? 80%? Is it possible to get special permission to be told which questions you missed? We really want to start tournaments here, but now that we've all failed the quiz, we have to wait a month before doing anything.
Organizer Quiz Possible?

The quiz goes over general organizer stuff. It's open-notes, so feel free to go through all of the guides while you're taking the quiz. You need to get every question right to pass, and you're not told what answers you got wrong likely so that you can't just guess your way through the quiz, I assume.
I also failed on my first attempt, but really because I did on a whim during school, so I didn't bother checking the guides. You'll pass next time, I swear!

I took my quiz during toward the end of Burst. Assuming the quiz hasn't changed since then I would focus on Burst for the sake of answering the questions. All the answers are in the guide but some are hard to find and requires a bit of outside the box thinking. It takes a few tries but hopefully you'll get there.

So you wouldn't be able to host in 3 days if you did indeed pass. Sorry if that is a bit disappointing, just figured I'd let ya know.
Oh. Okay definitely did not just crush everything I had been waiting on today.......
