College Bowl Rules

College Bowl teams consist of four players. You can play with as little as three, and you can make a substitution at the half. The game takes place during two seven-minute halves and the total time for any given match is 20 to 30 minutes.

Each game begins with a toss-up question. The first player to buzz in and get it right gets 10 points for their team, and gives their team an opportunity at a bonus question just for them. This is followed with another toss-up question, and the game proceeds. A player may buzz in during the middle of the question, but if the answer is incorrect, they lose 5 points and the other team gets the question. Teams may not confer with one another on the toss-up questions, but are able to do on the bonus questions.
