Game Format and Rules
All game questions are written in advance by designated experts in various subspecialties.
- Each team will be given the opportunity to respond to a question.
- Ten points are awarded per correct question.
- There is no point penalty for incorrect answers.
- Each team can designate one spokesperson to answer the question.
- If the first team is incorrect, the other team has the opportunity to answer the question.
- Each team has the opportunity to "pass" on a question in the first and second rounds. This question will then go to the next team, which must either "answer" or "pass."
- There are three total rounds: the first round, the Semi-Final round and the Final/Championship round.
- Each of the eight teams will play a game in the first round. The four winning teams from the first round will advance to the Semi-Final round.
- The two winning teams from the Semi-Final round will advance to the Final/Championship round.
- The team with the highest point total in the Championship Game will be deemed the winner.
Section Secretaries or an alternative representative will participate as judges for each round, but will not be permitted to judge during a round in which their own Section is competing.
