Attention Team Captains!
If you expect your team to play in the next Trivia Tournament, get your list of players ASAP! E-mail the list to Matti812.

starting the game

• If the Emcee or the room Moderator asks for quiet, please immediately stop all use of the Mic and/or Typing and wait for instructions. 
• Listen for your Team Color and change immediately 
• Strongly consider using a common font with Bold turned on and a font size of at least 12 - visibility of the @ symbol is very important during Tournament play - to change your font - use Menu: Edit, Font... 
  the rules in-depth

• You will have 15 seconds to put up your @ symbol after the question is posted. Once called upon you will have 10 seconds in which to answer the question. If no one puts up @ symbol question is dead and caller will go on to the next question.
• Maturity and a good attitude are required at all times.
• There will be 20 questions asked per round. The team with the most points at the end of 20 questions will be the winner of that round.
• If there is a tie...those teams that are tied will be given another question. The team that answers it correctly then wins the tie and the round.
• 1 point will be awarded for each correct answer. If you are called upon to answer and you are wrong your team will lose 1 point. This will keep anyone from just throwing up the @ sign when they really don't know the answer.
• If you are first with the @ symbol and your answer is wrong, caller will go on to the next question.
• If you choose to type your answer, correct spelling will not be required, but it better be close. It will be up to the caller to designate whether answer is acceptable or not.  Some questions may require correct spelling, in that case you will need to spell correctly.
• Teams will consist of NO more than 6 players, but any number up to 6 is fine.
• You will have 15 seconds to put up your @ symbol after the question is posted. Once called upon you will have 10 seconds in which to answer the question. If no one puts up @ symbol question is dead and caller will go on to the next question.
• Maturity and a good attitude are required at all times. 
• If you are not the person called upon by the Emcee, please do not type or respond. Typing or saying the answer when it is not your turn can cause your team to lose a point and/or inadvertently give the correct answer to the person the Emcee did call on. If this happens repeatedly your team risks disqualification at the Emcee 's sole discretion. 
• Once somebody makes a guess to the question, whether it be correct or not, a new/next question will be read. If you post @ first you MUST answer or lose 1 point. 
• If someone posts their @ first, gets called on and then gets "da boot" (disconnected for any reason), the second symbol up will get a chance to answer, no matter which team they are on. We cannot control the Internet, your ISP, the 4Anything network, or predict an "act of God". Therefore it is officially part of the game, we handle it and move on. 
• Typos are understandable and permitted, but omission of words will not be, and you will lose a point if you do not completely communicate the correct answer(s). 
• Excessive use of the microphone will not be permitted. The Emcee runs the game, the Moderator runs the room. During actual game play you should only use the Microphone when/if you are called upon by the Emcee for having your @ symbol up first.
• Each match will last for 20 questions in regular play.  Due to time limitations, final round, tie-breakers, or whim of the Emcee, the number of questions can be increased or decreased as needed.  A change in the number of questions for a round will be announced at or prior to the start of the round.
• Unnecessary @ symbols will not be allowed in the chat area, please use it only if you know the answer.  Please only use one (1) single @ symbol (e.g. do not chime in with "@@@"). 
• All answer's will be at the discretion of the Emcee, he/she knows what question's/answers he/she has.  In order to receive 1 point for correct response, you MUST answer the question on ONE LINE when typing.  The only possible exception will be if the Emcee specifically asks you for additional qualification, spelling correction, or information.
• There will be no whining, protesting, hair-pulling, kicking, or throwing tomatoes at the Emcee.....!!! Violations will cost you a point. Further violations will disqualify you. You could also have your team disqualified and/or be ejected from the room. We intend to have fun, please don't force us to break out a can of whoop-ass!
• The Emcee 's helper will be putting a line up just before each question is displayed. If you type an @ symbol after a new line is drawn, you will be expected to answer whether the Emcee has asked the question or not.  Be careful! 
• There are no official time outs.  Only a team captain may request of the Emcee or the Moderator that the round be halted.  It is only a request, the game proceeds at the Emcee or Moderator's immediate discretion. 
• The room will remain "clean" at all times... if you get the chance to go on camera, you must remain fully clothed (no poles, no melons) or you will be disqualified and/or booted from the room. 
• Remember: the game proceeds in real time! All judgments are instant and final and the sole discretion of the Emcee and backed up by the moderator.

scoring

+ 1 point - For Correct Answer
- 1 point - any incorrect/inaccurate answer
- 1 point - expired time (15 seconds) or wasting time

captains and teams

Teams should have 1 captain and 2-6 players. Only 1 captain per team and only 1 team per captain. If there is a reason to call a time out, question a rule, protest something or ask a question, only the team captain should communicate with the Emcee or moderator. Players should make their captain aware of the issue and it will be up to the captain to decide whether or not to address it in real time.

Teams may have more or less than 6 officially listed players.  Maximum is 6.  Minimum is 2.  A team must have a minimum of 2 active players present at the start of a round to play the round.  If players get dropped, the round continues to conclusion whether the player(s) return or not.  A player may only play on the team he is officially listed on.  If a team decides to Retire or not participate in a Tournament, those players may join other teams for that Tournament.

Maximum 6 active players per round. Important note for players: your team captain will be deciding who is active for the start of each round. If there are too many people on your team, you may not get to play much. Consider joining another team or forming a new team.

prizes

· 1st The wonderful people at LIvVE (so I am brown nosing, bite me!) have agreed to give the winning team some ultra-kewl looking trophies by their name and a nifty yellow box for a week! 
· 2nd A big pat on the back, 2 "atta-boys" and 4 "durn-that-was-close"'s from all involved 
· 3rd Matti812/Matt will do a classic Irish Jig on comaera for you on demand, at any time until the next Tournament.  

the questions/answers...

The questions involved will be taken from varied places, but mostly from the Trivial Pursuit game. So those of you familiar with Trivial Pursuit know that it is split up into 6 categories. When making your teams you may want to take that into consideration. The questions asked are at the sole discretion of the "emcee" (person asking questions). All categories MAY be included in the round of 20 questions.

lag, timing and wysinwyg

This will be a factor, and no doubt may cause some disputes... it is to be expected. If two posts are close, lag will always make it appear that your @ symbol is first on your screen. The Emcee will call the first @ he sees on his screen.  Please do not bother disputing the Emcee - this is written in stone and an expected/official part of the game.  Make sure you have no other applications open, or running in the background to help reduce any factors that might contribute to your lag.

Also note that the 15 seconds you have to communicate your answer to the Emcee are entirely at the Emcee 's discretion.  If you are nice and polite and come in at or over the wire, the Emcee may give it to you.  If you are rude and obnoxious, the Emcee may disqualify you in 5 seconds or less - entirely at his sole discretion.  This is written in stone and an expected/official part of the game.
