RULES TO ANNOUNCE
Wait for the full clue. Discuss, then let the captain buzz through the game.
In Spoken Classic, the captain answers aloud after buzzing. In typed mode,
the first buzzer submits the answer in Quiz Champ. External chat is not a
registered response. The host reveals and judges after the game response.
Current host-dashboard scoring: Correct adds the tile value; Incorrect adds 0.
Any separately tracked house rule: _________________________________________
Stealing allowed? ____ If yes, describe the manual rule: ___________________
Challenge rule: pause before the next clue, check the written key, then apply
the same decision to every affected team. Record the ruling below.

MANUAL SCORECARD (one row per judged response; duplicate as needed)
Round/category | Tile value | Team | Points awarded | Running total
_______________|____________|______|________________|______________
_______________|____________|______|________________|______________
_______________|____________|______|________________|______________
_______________|____________|______|________________|______________

_______________|____________|______|________________|______________
_______________|____________|______|________________|______________
_______________|____________|______|________________|______________
_______________|____________|______|________________|______________
_______________|____________|______|________________|______________

Worked example: Team A starts at 500; Correct on a 300 tile adds 300 = 800.
Team B starts at 500; Incorrect on a 200 tile adds 0 = 500.
Do not enter the same award twice when reconciling a paper backup.

TIED FINISH (run separately from normal tile scoring)

Exact target: ______ Units: ______ Time for each team: ______
Team | Guess | Absolute distance from target
_____|_______|______________________________
_____|_______|______________________________
_____|_______|______________________________
Smallest absolute distance wins. Equal distance? Use another unused question
or declare shared winners, according to the rule announced before play.
Example: target 60, guesses 55 and 65 both have distance 5; neither wins alone.
