Rules - Section II: Game Time
- A game will consist of two six-minute halves. At the end of each half, the game shall be halted. At the beginning of each game the teams for the current game and the next game will be called; failure to show in 15 minutes after being called will cause the team not showing to receive a forfeit for that game.
- The period between the half will consist of one minute. During this time, the scores are announced, opportunity is given to change players, and challenged questions are resolved.
- If the game time or half time expires while the Moderator is in the midst of asking a toss-up question, the question is not completed and the round ends. Opportunity is not given to answer the question.
- If the game time or half time expires after a player has signaled to answer a toss-up question or is in the process of answering a toss-up question, he/she will be allowed to complete the answer. If the player answers correctly, the points will be awarded. If the player answers incorrectly, the other team will be given the opportunity to answer the question.
- If the game time or half time expires after a toss-up question with an attached bonus has been answered correctly, then the bonus question is read and time is allotted (Section IV [F]) to answer the question.
- Any game that ends in a tie will enter a one-minute, lightning round. Only toss-up questions will be used during a lightning round. The team with the highest score at the end of a lightning round will be declared the champions. If there is a second tie, the procedure will then be repeated.
