African Heritage Youth Quiz 2014 PRACTICE QUIZ

Slide 3

Rules of the Quiz Each team: 4 players + 1 back-up/alternate player. In order to answer a question, players must buzz in and wait to be called upon by a Host. The first team to buzz in will have 5 seconds to answer the question. If a correct answer is not provided within 5 sec., the opposing team will be given up to 10 sec. to answer. If a player buzzes in before the Host finishes reading a question, the Host will stop reading and will call on the buzzing team to answer the question. If that team is unable to provide a correct answer, then the Host will re-read the question, in its entirety, for the opposing team.

Slide 4

Rules (continued) If an audience member or anyone else reveals the answer of a question before the players answer the question, the question is voided. In the case of a disputed answer, the judge will determine the correct answer. The judges decision will be final. If no team is able to correctly answer the question, audience members will be given an opportunity to answer the question.

Slide 5
