Quizone is back on RTÉ Two Young Peoples, where more teams will battle it out against each other in the zone.

In each show three teams will compete in this mental and physical challenge. In every round the teams must nominate a runner, who must race through the zone while the rest of the team back in the search room are also up against the clock to try to find an answer using the quizone.tv safe search engine and a library of reference books. The quicker the runner makes it through the zone, and the faster their team has an answer, the more points they stand to win.

This time the race has got tougher – at the top of each round runners must search in absolute darkness for a glowing bonus ball before they are allowed to continue through the zone, we keep an eye on the action with night vision cameras but for the contestants seeing what they are doing isn’t quite so easy! However the real tension for the teams comes in the second last round when the internet in the search rooms is shut down and contestants have to look for an answer using just the books, which is no easy task when the clock is ticking.

Keeping a close eye on everything that happens in the zone is referee Jamie Darling, he will be watching the runners every move and anyone who doesn’t complete the zone in time will be disqualified by Jamie and sent back to their search rooms with no points to play for. Jamie will also be carrying out his usual referee duties of keeping the scores and setting some tough questions for the search rooms!

Every member of the team has the chance to run the zone during one of the five rounds, but nobody has to run and the same team member can run more than once if they decide. The teams are competing for MP3 players, and the team that tops the league table at the end of the series will be rewarded with their own laptops.
