Playing Bonus Questions
Previous Top Next

In most formats, a Bonus Question follows a correctly answered Toss-Up Question, and whenever this happens in a game, Slam-In automatically gets you ready to play a Bonus Question:

If your format does not use Bonus Questions at all or if you are playing a “Speed Round” where all the questions are Toss-Ups, use the dropdown menu in the Play Question menu to select to play a Toss-Up Question instead:

Change to Toss-Up

As with Toss-Up Questions, the Ring-In Timer & Answer Timer contain the values you established for them in Setup.  However, Slam-In “knows” that Bonus Questions often take longer to play, so it allows you to edit these values prior to initiating a bonus, and it remembers them for all Bonus Questions that are subsequently played.  Edit either of both of these values in the lower left-hand corner of the Play screen:

Set Timers

In this way, Slam-In accommodates longer “team deliberation” time (corresponding to the Ring-In Timer setting) and answer time, if needed.  In fact, during Bonus Questions the Ring-In Timer is labeled the Deliberation Timer:
