  2. Question Round
    1. A question will be asked by the referee (teacher) that all teams may answer. The first question will be randomly determined; thereafter, the team who last answered a question correctly will control the category and difficulty selection.
    2. Teams will buzz in by having any student raise a hand while saying their team number. Once a team is identified, the referee will choose any player from that team to explain the answer.
    3. If the answer is correct, the player's team will earn points equal to the difficulty rating of the problem.
    4. If the answer is incorrect, the player's team will be deducted points equal to the difficulty rating of the problem and other teams may buzz in until all teams are exhausted.
