Today we've got two incredible returning teams on the top.
We've got O'Fallon with Raida Henry, Zachary and Jackson, and on the bottom we've got Marion with Ethan, Emilee, Samuel, and Tatyana.
For those of you who don't know how the game works, I have in my hand a series of toss up questions that I will ask to the room.
Either team can buzz in to answer for ten points.
The team that gets a toss up question correct then moves on to a bonus question, which they can answer for 20 points, or the other team can steal for ten points.
We will also have audio questions, media questions, lightning rounds, but all of that will be explained as they come.
For now, the only thing you need to know is the interruption rule, which I will explain now if I am reading a question and you interrupt me to give an answer.
If you're right, you get your points and we move on with our lives.
If you get it wrong, the other team gets five bonus points and the opportunity to answer that question.
