Team members may be switched or substituted only at this time. The Meet Questions used are compiled and purchased from Academic Hallmark and are designed to be suitable based on curriculum and expected knowledge for middle school students. Subject matter and difficulty will vary from question to question. Teams will only compete against the other two teams from their grade level. The two rounds will be toss-up questions which may be answered by the team which buzzes in first.
Scores are cumulative.
Every first attempt correct response is worth 5 points . In cases where the first team that attempts to answer the question is wrong, either of the other two teams may buzz in to attempt to answer the question. A correct response this second attempt will earn 3 points . If that response is also wrong, the remaining team may attempt the question to win 1 point . Final results will be tabulated by officials and announced by the Reader at the end of Round 2.
