Game Rules
Harry Potter Trivia Challenge Game Format and Rules
1. Each team will participate in one preliminary round. The winner of each round will advance to the final round.
2. Each round will consist of 20 questions.
3. There will be five members on a team.
4. Students must hold the buzzer.
5. When the student buzzes in, the console judge must acknowledge the student BEFORE the student is able to answer. If the student answers BEFORE being acknowledged, the team loses their opportunity to earn any points for that question and the question is repeated for the opposing team.
6. The answer must be given within 10 seconds by the student who buzzed in. If they are correct, they will receive 10 points.
7. If the student answers incorrectly, the moderator will reset the buzzers and repeat the question. The opposing team will have the opportunity to answer the question.
8. If the opposing team gets the answer correct, they receive 10 points.
9. There will be no penalties for wrong answers.
10. If a contestant buzzes before the completion of a question, the moderator stops reading and, after being recognized, the contestant must answer immediately. If they are correct, they are awarded 10 points. If an incorrect answer is given, the moderator reads the entire question again and the opposing team has an opportunity to answer the question within 10 seconds. They will be awarded 10 points if they are correct.
11. If neither team buzzes in when a question is asked, the moderator will answer the question after 10 seconds and proceed to the next question.
12. Any concern about an answer to a question MUST be addressed by the student to the moderator before the next question is asked. The moderator’s decision is final. The student will get the attention of the moderator by raising his/her hand.
