Guidance for Question Masters 2023–4
• |
Read the questions before asking them. Be sure that you know,
before you start the question, what answer you are going to accept.
Nothing is worse than humming and hawing and then saying "no, not
quite right, passed over". Try not to give additional information to
the side answering second. |
• |
If the answer requires a first name as well as a surname, ask
for it in the question, otherwise a surname only is acceptable as an
answer. |
• |
Visual and physical rounds are occasionally used. If there is a
visually or physically handicapped player, offer the person the
option of a non–visual or physical supplementary from another round. |
• |
If the answer required allows some leeway, you should mention it
when asking the question, but not the amount of leeway. |
• |
If illegal collusion by any means is suspected or observed it
should be brought to the attention of those concerned immediately
and stopped. Any persistent offending must be notified to the team
Captains and reported to the Committee. |
• |
It is recommended that disputes be settled if at all possible
before moving on to the next question. Supplementary questions are
provided to allow the Question Master to resolve disputes. PLEASE
resolve disputes by this method wherever possible. Use your
initiative; you are in charge on the night. |
