Each Contest may or may not have categories of questions. The format of the Contest and categories, if any, will be conveyed to the Participants by the Host at the start of each Contest or by email before the start of each Contest.
Once the question has been asked, Participants use the raise-your-hand button (xxx) to raise the hand if they know the answer to the question.

The first Participant to answer the question correctly will score 10 points.
Participants that answer the question incorrectly will have 10 points deducted from their score. A negative score is possible.

Correctness of the answer will solely be determined by the Host.
A tally of the scores will be shown on the computer screen periodically during the Contest and at the end of the Contest.
The Participant with the highest tally at the end of each Contest will be the winner. The Participant with the second highest tally will be the first runner up and the Participant with the third highest tally will be the second runner up.
