• At the start of each round the moderator will introduce team members.• Each question will be read by the moderator and the question will be shown

on the screen. • Teams should consult before answering and give the group response.• Teams will write the answer on their white board and raise the board only

when so directed by the moderator. • The moderator will announce the correct answer. The scorer in front of each

team will decide if the answer is correct.• The judges will resolve any controversial answer.• Minor spelling errors are allowed at the discretion of the judges.• The winning team from each round will advance to the Championship Round. • The Championship Round is single elimination. If the team misses the ques-

tion they put their team name sign face down but remain seated on the stage.

• Scores for each round will be recorded on the scoreboard and erased after each round. A master scoring grid will be kept by the master scorekeeper and one of the judges.
