provide one adult volunteer.** This volunteer will NOT be with your team at all during the day**We highly suggest providing a volunteer for the alternate competition. (Elementary volunteer for MS/HS and MS/HS volunteer for Elementary)Slide10

A new perspective…

Consider volunteering for the other grade level competition.It’s a completely different experience

from the other side of the buzzer!Slide11

It truly takes a village to get an event the size of this one to run smoothly. We welcome new faces and new ideas. Please consider joining the Steering Committee

right this minute

to help with this year’s event and have a voice in next year’s competition as well.Slide12

Game Format

A school may have no more than one team at each level.

Coaches must remain in the room with their teams.

Each school will participate in six rounds unless there is a tie-breaker.

Each round will consist of 10 questions.Slide13

Game Format

Alternates may be substituted between rounds.

Teams will receive 10 points for each correct answer.

There will be no penalties for wrong answers.

Each team has 5 members and 5 alternates. No more than five students may compete during a round.Slide14

Private schools

Schools with students in multiple levels for competition may have more than one team. For example, a school has grades 4 – 6 they may have:

one elementary team - students in 4

th

and 5th grades one middle school team for 6th grade6th grade students may not compete at the elementary level. However, 4th & 5th grade students may compete at the middle school level.Slide15

Game Rules

Each student participating in the round will hold the buzzer, and will buzz in when he/she knows the answer to the questions.

When the student buzzes in, the console judge must acknowledge the student and team. The student must wait to answer the question until the judge acknowledges him/her. If a student shouts out an answer without being called upon to answer, that team loses the opportunity to answer. The Moderator will repeat the question for the other team.Slide16

Game Rules

The student must answer the question within ten seconds.

If a contestant buzzes before the completion of a question, the moderator stops reading and, after being recognized, the contestant must answer immediately. If an incorrect answer is given, the moderator reads the entire question to the opposing team. The team then has an opportunity to answer the question within

10 seconds

.If neither team buzzes in within ten seconds, the moderator will answer the question and proceed to the next question. No points will be given for an unanswered question.c. If a team member answers the question without buzzing in, the moderator will ignore the answer and wait for someone to buzz in correctly. Slide17

CHALLENGE:

A challenge can only be initiated by a player.

A coach cannot

initiate a challenge.Slide18

Game Rules: Challenges

At no time may a coach speak with any team members unless a question is challenged by a student. Any concern about an answer to a question MUST be addressed by the student to the COACH before

the next question is asked.

The student will get the attention of the coach by raising his/her hand. The student and coach will discuss the challenge. The coach will decide if the challenge is credible. A coach may decide not to raise the challenge to the moderator.Slide19

Game Rules: Challenges

If the coach decides to continue with the challenge, he/she will inform the moderator, who will take the appropriate steps of sending the challenge to the challenge room for a decision.

The moderator may offer the coaches the opportunity to throw out the question in lieu of spending time challenging the question. In that case, an alternate question will be substituted.

A challenge is for when the student feels the question or answer is incorrect.

NOT because no one answered the question correctly!Slide20

Game Rules

Sportsmanship – If the moderator notices that a

coach

is speaking with a team member during a round, whether or not he/she is providing answers to questions, the Moderator will push the call button in the room to alert the challenge officials to come and remove the coach from the competition. That coach will also be disqualified from the following year’s competition as well.Slide21

Game Rules

Team members are not allowed to confer with each other during the rounds, and

coaches

are not allowed to speak with team members during the round unless a student initiates a challenge.Talking during the competition is prohibited. Team violations may include team members, coaches, and/or visitors. Once the round begins, there should be no noise of any kind. This includes clapping and cheering from visitors. Help the teams FOCUS!Slide22
