Bury Quiz League-21st Century Quiz Ltd. GENERAL RULES 1.
All matches will be played on the night
agreed locally and will commence at 8.30 pm unless ALL teams in the
league agree otherwise. 2.
Each team will consist of a maximum of 4
players, but there is no lower limit to the number of players who may represent
a team. No substitutes will be allowed during the course of a game. No player may play for more than one team in the same season
unless his or her original team has resigned from the league, or the game in question may be forfeited by the
offending team. 3.
The home team will normally be responsible for providing
a question-person and a scorer/timekeeper. 4.
2 points will be awarded for a win & 1
point for a draw. 5.
In the event of a team failing to turn up, the game will be
awarded to their opponents. The non-offending team will be credited with a
score equal to their average to date and the offending team will be given a score of zero. Should the first fixture of the
season not be played, the non-offending team
will be given a score of 40. 6.
Re-arranged fixtures are only allowed in
extreme circumstances & only with the prior approval of the League
Secretary. 7.
If a team resigns from the League during the course of
the season their record will be deleted and all matches involving tem will be
void. 8.
Questions will be sent to venues in clearly marked and
sealed envelopes. The envelope must be opened in the presence of both tearn captains on the night of the match. If the envelope is opened prior to this, the match may be
claimed by the visiting side. 9.
A score sheet will be sent with each set of questions. This must be
signed by both teams at the end of each match and kept by the home side as a true
record of the result. The result is to be notified to the League Secretary within 24hours by
telephone, text, Whatsapp etc
on 07751551790 . It is the responsibility of the home side to communicate the result. 10.
In
the event of two teams having an equal
number of points at the end of the season, the team who have
scored the highest number of game points will be the winner. The number of
points scored against a team is totally
irrelevant. MATCH RULES 1. Each game will consist of eight rounds of eight
questions. 2. There will be six rounds of consultation questions and
two rounds of individual questions. 3. In the consultation rounds team members may confer with
each other. 4. In the Individual Rounds the Question-Person will
announce the subjects of the questions. The teams will then decide who is going
to answer on which subject. No one will be allowed to answer on more than one
subject. 5. The Question-Person must only accept the first answer
he or she hears. 6. A team may ask for clarification or a repeat of a
question before timing starts. Once timing has started any further
clarification will be part of a team's allocated thinking time. 7. Any prompting by supporters will result in maximum
points for the question being awarded to the opposition. 8. There should be a short break at half-time to refill
glasses. 9. The Question-person must maintain strict neutrality at
all times. 10. Any disputes which arise during the course of a game
may be referred to the League Secretary within 24 hours. RULES FOR ROUNDS 4
& 6 Both these rounds are
consultation rounds and the timings are the same as in previous rounds. Round
4 - Stick or Twist There are four linked
questions for each side, in (hopefully!), ascending order of difficulty. Question 1 is worth ONE POINT for a correct answer. If the team on hearing
Question 2 elect to stick they remain with one point. If they answer it
correctly their score for that round doubles to TWO POINTS. If they get it wrong they forfeit all their points on
that round. Question 3 again doubles
the round score to FOUR POINTS, and
Question 4 to EIGHT POINTS. At each stage an incorrect
answer will mean forfeiting all points gained for that round. As soon as a team sticks
or gives an incorrect answer the opposition have their go at their four linked
questions. THERE IS NO PASSOVER TO THE OPPOSITION DURING THE
COURSE OF THE FOUR LINKED QUESTIONS. Round
6 - 2 Part Questions Each question is set in
two parts. If the team to whom it is asked think they know the answer after hearing the first part only they may answer for FOUR POINTS or they may ask for the second part for a possible TWO POINTS. If they get it wrong after hearing the first part only it passes to the opposing team who may either answer for THREE POINTS or ask for the extra information for ONE POINT. Similarly if the original team gets it wrong after the second part it passes over for a possible ONE POINT. ONCE A QUESTION IS
PASSED OVER IT CANNOT BE PASSED BACK TO THE ORIGINAL TEAM. |
