There are 5 major rules:
- Do not shout out the answer.
- Do not use any outside resources
(books, computers, cell phones, etc).
- Once you hand in an answer, you
may NOT have it back.
- One team per table of no more
than 6 players. (You may play with 6-7 players, but you
automatically forfeit the 1st place prize to the highest
scoring team with 5 or less players. 8 players must be split
into two teams of 4.)
- Decisions of the Trivia Jockey
are final.
Playing
is easy! You will be provided
with a Stump! tip sheet,
Stump! answer slips, pens and scrap paper. Play goes as follows:
- Think of a team name, write this on
ALL of your answer slips.
- At the beginning of play, you will be
told the categories for the first round. Record these on
the Stump! tip sheet provided to you.
- The first round
questions will be asked. You have one song to hand
in your answer. You must wager 1, 3, 5 or 7 points depending
on how confident you feel about your answer. REMEMBER, you
can only use each number value ONCE per quarter.
- The quarter-end question is a 4 or 5
part question. Each part is worth it's own points.
- The 2nd quarter proceeds exactly as
the first. Be sure to record the 2nd quarter categories
on your Stump! tip sheet.
- The Stump! half time question involves
a series of clues, beginning with a 10 point value. If you
submit the correct answer after the first clue, you earn
10 points; if you submit correctly after 2 clues you earn
8 points and so on. If you submit an incorrect answer, you
lose 5 points.
- The second half of play is the same
as the first half, except that the point values are increased
to 2, 4, 6 or 8 points. You can only use each value one
time per quarter.
- The final question is the most important.
You wager between 2 and 20 points. If you get the answer
right, you earn the points wagered. However, if you are
wrong, you lose 1/2 of what you wagered.
- You have just mastered how to play Stump!
trivia. You may print these directions and bring them with
you or the Trivia Jockey will have some
