I'm your host, Olivia manning.
Welcome to Scholastic IQ, the only show where knowledge rules on the top.
Here we've got Carterville with Hannah Maddox, James and Mason.
And on the bottom we've got Breese Central with Kaden, Xavier, Hunter and Ellie, two fantastic teams ready for an incredible episode.
For those of you who don't know how the game works, I have in my hand a series of toss up questions.
These I will ask to the room either team can buzz in to answer for ten points.
A team that gets a toss up correct then moves to a bonus round, which they can answer for 20 points.
Or if they get it wrong, the other team can swoop in and steal for ten bonus points.
There will also be math questions, media questions, lightning rounds, but we will get to all of those when we get to them.
For now, the only thing you all need to know is the interruption rule.
If at any point while I am reading a question, you interrupt me to give an answer.
If you're correct, you get your points and we move on with our day.
If you get it wrong, the other team gets five bonus points and the option to answer that question.
