- A playing team shall consist of at least two, but no more than four players, at any time. One of the playing members must be the captain.
- Each conference may enter a Junior Youth team (ages 10-15), a Senior Youth team (ages 16-22) a Young Adult team (ages 23-35) and an Adult team (ages 36+). If a person is eligible to play during their local conference games, that person will also be eligible to play during the National games.
- Alternate members of a team may be substituted only at the half of each game, or in case of illness or extreme emergency.
- A registered team must consist of individuals from the same local church or district church having the same conference pastor. Conference teams with members from different churches or district churches not having the same conference pastor are not eligible to participate in the National Bible Bowl games.
