GAME PLAY 1. 24 TOSS UP QUESTIONS - Best of 3 Toss Up TIE BREAKER - NO BONUS 2. ONE TIME OUT PER TEAM / PER HALF (subs can be made at TO, half, or before OT). 3. Students will have 10 SECONDS to BUZZ after the end of the question. 4. Students will have 3 SECONDS to ANSWER after being recognized to answer. 5. Other team has 3 SECONDS to REBOUND buzz after a missed question. 6. A PROTEST should be made immediately, before the next question is started. Moderator will be instructed to accept answers from the script ONLY (moderators have discretion). 7. SPELLING QUESTIONS are like a spelling bee. IF you start, you can start over, but IF you change letters from the first time you spell the word, you will be wrong. 8. Players ARE allowed to write on PAPER for math or spelling. They should NOT be conferring during the reading of the question or writing notes to a teammate during the reading of the question.

TIE BREAKERS

In the event a TIE EXISTS after QUESTION 24, teams will play BEST TWO OF THREE TOSS UPS. IF after BEST TWO OF THREE TOSS UPS, teams are STILL TIED, TEAMS PLAY SUDDEN DEATH ONE TOSS UP. A 3-0 team after Monday will advance to play Tuesday. Any 3-0 teams will be seeded by TOTAL POINTS scored on Monday. (Therefore most points scored will be 1 seed) ---------- EXAMPLE SCENARIO ----------

Pool A winner = 3 - 0 scored 350 points in two games. Pool B winner = 3 - 0 scored 410 points in two games. For Tuesday, Pool B winner would play the team with the fourth place ranking in the semifinal. For Tuesday, Pool A winners would play the other semifinal.

TIE BREAKERS

Assuming both pools have a 3-0 team at the end of Monday (advance to Tuesday and are seeded by points scored) The 2-1 teams in the pools will be compared to determine the 3rd and 4th semi final spots for Tuesday. ---------- Example Scenario Pool A winner = 3 - 0 scored 550 points in two games. Pool A runner up = 2-1 scored 480 points in two games. Pool B winner = 3 - 0 scored 610 points in two games. Pool B runner up = 2-1 scored 500 points in two games. Tuesday’s semi final matches would be:

Pool B winner v. Pool A runner up (least points 2-1 team) Pool A winner v. Pool B runner up (most points 2-1 team)

TIE BREAKERS

IN the event that a TIE exists at the end of MONDAY to determine seedings for TUESDAY:

1. IF three teams are 2 - 1 and all beat one another, the next tie breaker is:

TOTAL POINTS SCORED IN THE THREE GAMES - ( HIGHER is BETTER) TWO HIGHEST SCORERS ADVANCE and ARE RANKED BY SCORE

2. IF TIED AFTER HEAD TO HEAD and TOTAL POINTS SCORED -

POINTS SCORED AGAINST ( LOWER IS BETTER)

3. IF TIED AFTER HEAD TO HEAD, TOTAL POINTS SCORED, and TOTAL POINTS AGAINST -

THREE TOSS UP TIE BREAKER

---------- EXAMPLE SCENARIO.

Pool A team 1 is 2-1 and scored 485 points in 3 games

Pool A team 2 is 2-1 and scored 530 points in 3 games

Pool A team 3 is 2-1 and scored 475 points in 3 games.

Team 2 WINS the POOL and is ranked 2rd (assuming other pool winners is 3 - 0) Team 1 competes in Tuesday action.

TIE BREAKERS

---------- Example Scenario

Pool A team 1 is 2-1 and scored 475 points in 2 games. 260 points scored against.

Pool A team 2 is 2-1 and scored 530 points in 2 games. 330 points scored against.

Pool A team 3 is 2-1 and scored 475 points in 2 games. 230 points scored against.

Team 2 WINS the pool and advances to the semi final spot on Tuesday.
