The events are Dialogue, Power Word (like Charades), Jeopardy, and Listening. The two contestants combined scores make up the team score at the end that is used to determine the winner in Spanish I, Spanish II, Spanish III, and Spanish IV..Students must be enrolled in Spanish class to compete in any level.
