Science Bowl Rules, Scoring and Advancement

NATIONAL SCIENCE BOWL RULES

UCONN House Rules: 
1. In toss ups, you have 7 seconds instead of 5 seconds to buzz in
2. In bonus questions, the captain must buzz in to answer

 

From Nationals:

9. Rules for the End of Round Robin Tournaments at Regional Events

9.1. At regional events at the end of round robin play, teams will be assigned 2 points for each win, 1 point for each tie, and 0 points for each loss to decide which teams advance in the competition. If needed, a tie-breaking procedure in the following order will be used to determine advancing teams:

(i) Head-to-head won/loss record involving all teams tied for the advancing places. If this separates a group of two or more teams from the rest of the tied teams, the head-to-head record will be reapplied in the smaller group. Ties that cannot be resolved in this fashion will be broken using tiebreaker matches (see below). Once tiebreaker matches have begun, head-tohead results will no longer apply.

(ii) If 2 teams are tied, they will play a 5 toss-up question tiebreaker match as per Rule 6-4.

(iii) If more than two teams are tied, each team, in separate rooms, will be given the same series of five toss-up questions (no bonus questions will be used during this segment of the competition). The usual five seconds will be allowed for a competitor to buzz in after the question is completely read. There are no interrupt penalties (but also no reason to interrupt since all five questions will be read completely).

Teams will be scored on the basis of +1 for each correct answer, -1 for each incorrect answer, and 0 for each unanswered question, blurt, or audible verbal communication.
