| Event Title |
Poem
|
| Aim |
To commit to memory and recall a poem. |
| Time to Memorise |
15 minutes |
| Time to Recall |
20 minutes |
| Question Paper |
-
A previously unpublished poem (consisting of the title, lines of verse
and the poet's name) written specifically for the competition.
-
An example of a poem used in the past is at Annex E.
-
Translations are available for the World Memory Championships but must
be ordered at least 8 weeks before the competition.
|
| Answer Paper |
-
Contestants must recall the poem from the beginning by writing it down
exactly as it was written (the title and the author also score) on the
paper provided.
-
Contestants must make it clear where one line ends and another line starts.
-
Contestants must make it clear where lines have been left out from their
recall of the poem
|
| Scoring |
-
Marks are awarded for correctly recalling:
-
Every correctly spelt word.
-
Every incidence of a capital letter.
-
Each punctuation mark (to include italics, underlining).
-
Each line has a different number of points available but to score those
points, the line has to be perfect. Any mistake in the line loses the complete
line from the score.
-
In the World Memory Championships where several translations of the same
poem are being used, each translation will be a line by line translation
of the English version and so the points designated for the English version
will be assigned to each translation on a corresponding line by line basis.
FOR THE LAST LINE ONLY
-
A partially completed final line of the answer scores the marks for the
portion remembered if the line is correct as far as it goes.
