The war is won by the first player to get 1000 points or the first player to get 320 points ahead of his nearest competitor at the end of a battle. If more than one player has more than 1000 points at the end of a battle the winner will be the player with the highest number of points. Points are accumulated by answering questions. Contestants will get credit for all correct answers received before 1700 hours GMT the following day and the answers will be placed on the internet after that time. If a question is still unanswered by that time the credit will go to the first correct answer received.
Players are limited to one answer per question.
A player can answer any number of questions in the battle from one to four. If a second answer to a question already answered incorrectly is sent by the same player in the same battle, the second answer will be disqualified. A player who correctly answers one question in a battle earns 20 points. A player who correctly answers two questions in the same battle earns 40 points. A player who correctly answers three questions in the same battle earns 80 points.
