Elimination RoundsRULES:• 10 Questions• 2 Teams compete• Question is displayed• Team has to raise a flag to answer• Referee calls on the team: five seconds to begin answer, time delay = wrong answer• If no one knows the answer, the question remains in play until the last question is

answered. Teams can send a runner, or use a lifeline to find the answer. Do NOT interrupt someone speaking, but use CSMA/CD and raise your flag during any period of silence

• Right answer = 1 point• Wrong answer deducts 1 point• Partial credit is possible .5 point• Tiebreaker question in case of tie at the end of 10 questions
