Tie-breaking Procedure
It is possible for a quizzing match to end in a tie. However, in tournament settings a tie-breaking round may be needed.
The tie-breaking round starts if the two teams are tied after 15 questions. The tie-breaking round consists of three additional questions. These questions are scored exactly the same as the first 15, including errors, team bonuses, quiz-outs, etc. Teams have one additional time-out to use during the tie-breaking round. The team with the most points at the end of the tie-breaking round wins.
If the teams are still tied after three questions, the tie-breaking enters a sudden death phase. The quizmaster will continue asking questions until the tie is broken, whether that is by a correct answer, or if it is by a team losing points due to errors or fouls.
During the regular season, teams may agree to compete in a friendly tiebreaker.
