New scoring system called Pounce introduces quiz competition
1.
2. A new scoring system called pounce system will be
followed.
THE POUNCE...........
Lets assume that I ask a question to team 1. Team 1
should not answer the question . Instead, the other
teams, if they know the answer, can write their
answer in the paper given. If the written answer is
correct, that team will get 10 points. But, if it’s wrong,
5 points will be reduced from their total score. After I
close the pounce, team 1 can answer the question
aloud. If the answer is right, +10(No negative for
answering aloud). If team 1 doesn’t know the answer,
the question will pass to the next team that hasn’t
pounced.
