# of Matches in Game
Up to ten, including the Final Puzzle.
Teams and Players
Minimum of one and maximum of five teams. Any number of people can be on a team.
Time Needed to Play
From 10 minutes to 1 hour or longer, if no time limit is set. This includes time to explain game rules, introduce players, and contest any answers. The time depends on round length, the number of rounds per game, and the number of questions in each round. See Round Setup in the Creating a New Game section.

End of Match
Three ways: 1) after all questions are answered, 2) the preset round length timer expires, or 3) selecting End Game from the Play Menu.

Scoring
Point values for each question/answer are assigned either in Round Setup (globally) or as each question is entered. You may accept the default values or type in your own. Points are added when the Instructor judges the answer (or deducted, if Interruption or Wrong Answer Penalties are activated).

Questions
There is no limit to the number of questions allowed in any game, although it is important to have extra questions to fill extra round time or to break ties. See the Questions section.

Instructor
Not part of any team. Uses keyboard or mouse to display questions (can also read them aloud), judges answers, spins the wheel and selects letter guesses (on behalf of teams). See Instructor Commands in the Playing Game 5 section.
Judges
The Instructor can designate one or two students to judge answers. The judges have the "final voice" as to whether or not the answer is correct.
