TeamWord, PBE & PBA
The Pathfinder Bible Achievement event planned for April of 2008 focuses on the Gospel of Matthew. In recent years (Acts, Chronicles, Joshua), around twenty teams have reached the Division-level final event. However, the Gospel of Matthew is much less intimidating, and much more approachable. We believe that this is the year in which every team could potentially score 100% at every event.
The purpose of this website is to help every team prepare for and reach the final event. We would love to see the final competition relocated because too many teams made it all the way!
This website is a wiki, which means that anyone can contribute easily. Please see the last section of this page for more details.
Pathfinder Bible Achievement, or PBA, was known as Bible Bowl until about 2003. The PBA Manual describes the history of the event and its designation.

Help! I've never used a wiki before!
Relax! <smile> It's pretty easy. I've written a very short orientation. After digesting that, I suggest that you look at the Wikipedia Introduction: it's quite good. For more detailed information, you may wish to consult the User's Guide.

How to Make PDFs
Uploads to this wiki, as to many wikis, are restricted to render-friendly formats, primarily PDF files and graphics. If you would like to contribute files that are in an editable format, such as from a word processor, you'll need to render them to a PDF before the wiki software will let you upload them.
There are several ways to make a PDF from a given document. If you're on a Mac, of course, you're all set. If you're running Windows or Linux, the easiest way may be to use OpenOffice.org, the free and full-featured office suite. Highly recommended. If that doesn't suite you, I suggest PDFCreator, a free program that gives you a virtual printer, which creates PDF files instead of paper print-outs. Pdf995 has also been recommended, and appears to be similar.
