Game 6 - Question Bowl

Previous  Top  Next

Game 6 - Question Bowl is a 1-10 team game in which teams compete to guess the answers to questions presented to them by the Instructor. The goal of the game is to earn the most points in a multi-round game by correctly answering these questions either individually (on behalf of a team) or via collaboration with other team members. A single game consists of any combination of one, two, or three rounds, plus an optional tiebreaker round. A round is a group of questions which can be played in any of the following styles:

Toss-Up/Bonus Round -- Individual team members ring-in to compete for the right to answer Toss-Up Questions, which may or may not have additional Bonus Questions associated with them.
Team Round -- Team members collaborate with one another to provide a group answer to set of questions given to each team in turn.
Speed Round -- Timed round with teams ringing-in to compete for the right to answer.

An optional Tiebreaker Round may follow other rounds and is used to ensure a winning team. Tiebreaker Rounds can involve any number of questions, some of which can be played in a Sudden Death style.

Note: A Tiebreaker Round cannot have Bonus Questions, so you may think of it as a Toss-Up-Question-Only round, potentially involving Sudden Death.
