KFL - Open-Quiz

OPEN-QUIZ

1.1. Before the game starts, players receive a personalized link in Zoom chat. Players need to open this link in their browser.

1.2. When a player open the link, they will see a text similar to the one shown in the picture, where "TEST" is the title of the quiz and "Vadym Bondar" is the name of the player. It is very important to check that the player has received the correct link and that they are playing for themselves and not someone else (the name under the quiz title should always match the player's name).

1.3. When the game starts, players will see questions in the format seen in the following screenshot. Players do not have to confirm the answers they enter. They just have to wait until the end of the round and the answers will be counted automatically by the system. Players are allowed to answer in their native language, always indicating the language in brackets.

1.4. During the round, the timer will always be visible at the very bottom of the page, as shown in the following screenshot. The timer always shows the number of seconds remaining.

1.5. After the round is over, the host will check the answers for a few minutes, then announce that players can refresh their page and check their results. At the bottom of the screen, players will see two buttons: History and Results.

1.5.1. When players click on the History button, they see a list of their answers in the past round, as well as the correct answers. All answers that have been counted by the host are highlighted in green (check the following screen).

1.5.2. When players click on the Results button, they see the scores of all participants who play with them on the same date. In the following screen, an example for one participant.

1.5.3. On the Results page, players can also click on ‘more details’ and it will show them the ‘question-by-question’ statistic for all players.

1.5.4. From the previous screenshot a player can see that there is a "Rating" column on the site. The rating is a measure of the difficulty of the questions answered by the player. The higher the rating, the more difficult the questions they answered were. In KFL the rating is not taken into account in any way.

1.6. If the player notices that the timer has frozen or "Connection lost" appears at the bottom of the screen in red letters, the easiest way to fix everything is to refresh the page in the browser.

1.7. If the player see that some answer has not been counted, they should do the following:

a) Reload the page in your browser. Usually, after the host checks the last answer, there's a delay while the players see it. Refreshing the page will fix this problem.

b) If rebooting didn't help, then the player need to contact the host by voice or message them in Zoom chat. You need to give the question number (e.g., 1.21 or 2.8) and ask for a recheck. Most often the players' answer was not counted, not because it was wrong, but because the host did not notice it.

c) If players wish to challenge their answer and feel that their answer is as good as the author's, they need to let the host know. The host can either count the answer immediately, if they decide that the player's answer is indeed as good as the author's, or they can leave it up to the end of all games and then make a decision based on the information they can find.

1.8. Players are allowed to open images in a new tab in the browser. This usually gives better resolution, and can sometimes be very useful. To do this, players need to right-click on the image and select "open in a new tab".
