A packet of questions is formed. It is wise to have several extra questions for a tie break. The source of questions is irrelevant, but, of course, questions must be unknown to players. Usually hosts of a tournament obtain a packet from a Club in another city. The packet is given to a moderator.
Teams sit around separate tables.
Each table is provided with a timer interruption button and a signal light. Teams have one minute to discuss the question. The game host must signal when 50 seconds have passed and 1 minute has passed. When a team wishes to answer the question, the captain must press the timer interruption button. The timer stops and the light signal on a team's table flashes.
