Substitutions may be made between questions as often as desired. The Quiz Master will call a time out while the substitutions are taking place. A 45-second time out shall exist between the two halves of the Quiz. One time out of 15 seconds will be permitted by each team per quiz. The quizzers must remain in their seats and only the Head Coaches are permitted to meet with their team.
Technical fouls are minus ten points each.
A second technical foul will result in a forfeit of the quiz. If, in the opinion of the Quiz Master, a team is purposely delaying giving the correct answers with the express intent to stall the quiz, the Quiz Master has the right to call a forfeit on that team, which means they will finish in last place with zero team points. Assignments for the October quiz will be selected at random prior to the competition. The third quiz will be assigned by random selection. The Summit Student Ministries Bible Quiz Tournament will use an elimination bracket for that competition.
