What is it?
- 16 teams of 2 players each
- 4 rounds with 4 teams each
- 1 winning team per round
- 1 final round with the 4 finalists
What do rounds consist of?
- Each team has a button in front of them
- A question is asked
- The first team to press the button tries to answer
- If the team answers correctly, it gets 2 points
- If the team fails to provide an acceptable answer or if no team presses the button after 10 seconds, 4 possible answers are shown; the 3 remaining teams (or 4, if no one pressed) use another pad to select their answer from the 4 possible ones; each team picking the right answer gets 1 point
- Each round consists of 15 questions
- The team with most points wins
What kind of questions will there be?
Anything's possible.
The questions are designed by geeks, for geeks.
Any other rules?
- After pressing the button, the team has 10 seconds to answer; 10 seconds is also the deadline for picking one of the 4 possible options, when the situation arises
- The Quizz Master is the person who decides whether an answer is correct; the Quizz Master's decision can only be disputed by successfully arm-wrestling him
Who is involved in the Quizz Show?
- Damian Conway - The Quizz Master
- João Pedro Gonçalves - The Man Behind the Scenes
What if there's a tie?
If there's a tie, a question and several possible answers are shown.
Each of the tied teams must select, in turn, one of the correct answers (for instance: "which of following does not compile in perl?").
The first team to pick a wrong answer loses.
Sounds great! Where do I sign up?
