Competition Rules Overview The Blue Heron Bowl follows the official rules of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (www.nosb.org). The following overview should help spectators follow the competition, but not all rules are presented here Officials’ Roles - Moderator: Asks the questions - Science Judge: Answer acceptability - Timekeeper: Keeps the match clock - Scorekeeper: Tallies team scores - Rules Judge: In charge of procedure - Team Challenge Judge: Grades TCQs Players Each team consists of 4 students, 1 captain and 3 players. At the end of each half, the team’s alternate player may rotate in. Types of Questions There are two “buzzer question” halves per match. In the buzzer half there are:
- Toss-up questions. Must buzz in to answer. No consultation among players. - Bonus questions. Given after a correct toss-up. Teams may consult on bonus
questions, but only the team captain may give the answer. - Team challenge questions (written, short essay) are presented between
buzzer halves. There will be 2 TCQs at the half. Consultation allowed. Answers Responses to multiple choice questions can be the letter (W, X, Y, Z) or the word answer, exactly as specified. Anything else is unacceptable. The first answer stated is the one that counts. If a player buzzes in before the Moderator has completely read the question: The Moderator recognizes the player and the player answers the question. If the answer is unacceptable, the team loses 4 points and the question is read to the opposing team. If the answer is acceptable, the team gets 4 points and the chance to answer a bonus question. If a player “blurts” an answer without being recognized, their team loses its turn. Timing After toss-up question is read: 5 sec. to buzz in. From being recognized to answer: 3 sec. After bonus question is read to answer: 20 sec. For TCQ: 2-5 min. Points Toss-up question: 4 points Bonus question: 6 points Interrupt, recognized, but answer not acceptable: -4 Blurt, unrecognized: 0 and team loses chance to answer TCQ: 0-20 (partial credit possible)• Challenges: to Rules or Scientific Answers Players (not audience members, alternate players or coaches) may challenge a ruling on toss-up or bonus questions, but only before the Moderator begins reading the next question. The Time Keeper stops the clock, officials may confer and the appropriate Judge makes a ruling. Officials’ rulings are final. There are no challenges on TCQs.
