 * Levels I and II[[image:Letzte_Seite width="51" height="50" align="right" link="Deutsch ist Handy"]]
 * Up to 6 teams (3 in each level) per school.


 * Guidelines: **


 * 1) Level I is for German 1 and 2 students, Level II for advanced German students, including heritage speakers.
 * 2) Each school may enter three teams per level, each consisting of three students.
 * 3) All questions for Level I will be given in English and should be answered in English. All questions for Level II will be given in German and should be answered in German.
 * 4) Each competition begins with a written qualifying round that includes all teams for that level. Fifteen questions will be given to each team on paper. The moderator will also read the questions orally and all teams will have 5 minutes to write down their answers. Illegible answers will be scored as incorrect. All sheets will be collected and scored. The moderator will supply the audience with the correct answers and results will be announced.
 * 5) The top five teams in each level move on to a second, written round.
 * 6) In the second round, ten questions are supplied on paper, two of which are marked as challenge questions. The answer to a challenge question is worth two points, but an incorrect answer results in the loss of one point. A team may therefore elect not to try to answer a challenge question.
 * 7) The two top teams in each category then play a final round. (If three teams are very close, three teams may take place in the final, third round. Judges' decisions on this point are final.). In the final round, the two (or three) teams answer orally, one after the other. The first team will be given a question, if the team supplies a correct answer, they receive one point; however, if they supply an incorrect answer, the second team is asked that same question. If the second team also supplies an incorrect answer, the first team receives a new question. If three teams are choosen for the final round, it is possible that the third team is asked the same question the first two teams answered incorrectly. The first team to the highest score after ten questions have been asked is the champion! If the score is tied, three more questions will be asked to determine the winner.
