Time outs may only be called between questions in a game. To activate a time out, click on the
Time Out button in the lower right-hand corner of the Play Mode screen:
When the "Time Out" button is clicked, the Time Out menu displays and allows you to charge a
specific team with a time out or to call an official time out:
The checkbox for "Official" indicates that this is the default time out option, but if you uncheck this
box, then you may use the team dropdown box to charge a time out to a specific team:
The length of a time out defaults to 60 seconds, but you may adjust its length by editing the value
in the numeric field – in the same way that you can adjust all the other Play Mode numeric fields
during a game:
When a time out is charged to a specific team, that team’s scorebox is highlighted on-screen
during the time out. Regardless of the kind of time out, a countdown timer box displays in the
upper right-hand corner of the Play Mode screen to keep track of the time out’s duration:
When the countdown reaches zero, a buzzer sounds. It is then up to the moderator to
click the "End Time Out" button:
Note: You may end a tim eout at any time by clicking the "End Time Out" button.
