Game Play
- Question Schedule
- 3 questions will be released daily Monday- Thursday for players to answer
- Each player will receive the same questions at the same time
- You must play through the questions in order released
- Technically you have from day released till game end to complete each question, but it’s a better learning tool if you stay up to date.
- All questions will be timed (2 minutes). Questions can be answered even if time has run out, but additional points will be awarded if they are answered within the time allotted.
- Expectations
- We ask our players not to use outside resources or share answers while competing
- We are limited in our ability to enforce this, but this is our honor code
