This is how the matches go: there is a reader who reads the questions. There are questions called “toss-ups.” The first person to buzz in gets to answer the question. If they answer correctly, the team gets ten points, and moves on to the bonus questions. There are three bonus questions in the set. If the team answers any of those questions correctly, they get ten points per question. At the end of the twenty toss-up questions, the team with the most points wins the match.
