Battle Rules

1. Each battle will have an adult reader, who will read the questions, and an adult timekeeper, who will make sure the team answers within the allotted time.
2. We will have 3 battles happening simultaneously each round - and 5 rounds so that all teams can battle each other before the final battle.
3. Each team needs to have a spokesperson that answers for the team.  The reader will only accept answers from the spokesperson.  The spokesperson can change from round to round
4. Each team will answer 20 questions per round.
5. The team shall have 30 seconds after the reading of the question to give its response through the team spokesperson. Teams are encouraged to confer before giving a response. Only the first answer the spokesperson gives will be acceptable--the team cannot use up the time left to guess other titles.
6. Scoring will be 3 points for the title, and 2 points for the author for “In which book” questions.  Scoring will be 5 points for factual questions about the book.
7. If a team has begun its response before time is called, it will be allowed to complete it.
