Prior to the oral quiz, a copy of 5 written questions will be served to each player. Each question is worth 5 points for a possible total of 25 points for each team's player. Points will be tallied and announced prior to the oral quiz. A 5-minute time limit applies. If all players complete the written quiz before the time limit expires, the Quizmaster may collect the quizzes and hand them to the Panel of Appeal.
All questions are one-part questions.
There are no points given for answers that are partially correct. The player will then be identified by team and by name or number by the Announcer. After identification, the player's 20-second time limit begins. However, if the first team buzzed in before the Quizmaster completed the question and they answered incorrectly, it will be reread in its entirety for the opposing team. It is then up to the opposing team to recognize and challenge additional incorrect information.
