A number guess will determine who chooses to go first or second
The team going second will have the last one-point question. If this last one-point question puts a team in the bonus, they have that opportunity.
Rules
- All questions are worth one point. If a question is missed, or not answered, the other team gets a chance at a challenge. If accepted and answered correctly then two points are added to the score. If missed one point is subtracted from the score.
- Three one-point questions answered in a row gets a team into the bonus worth five points.
- Bonuses are just as easy or hard as any of the other questions.
- There is no challenge on a bonus question.
- There is a 10-second time limit on every question…beginning when the question is repeated.
- When time is called, whoever is leading at that time is the winner. However, if the team that chooses to go second can tie or win with the last one-point question , they have that opportunity. If the game ends in a tie…the game continues until a winner is decided.
Other
- Only advisors may question scoring or answers at the time 0f the incident and not at the end of the game.
- When the game is over, it is over.
