Playing Team Questions
Previous Top Next

In some competition formats such as Florida’s National Tournament of Academic Excellence (NTAE), each round ends with a question that all teams play.  To play a Team Question in Slam-In, use the Play Question dropdown menu to change the question type to "Bonus":

Play Bonus

Edit the Ring-In/Deliberation Timer to extend play for the desired length of time that teams have to come up with their answer(s), then click "Play Question".

Once the Deliberation Timer has counted down, award points to Team 1 using the Award/Penalize operator menu:

Award Team 1

Click on "Save", then use the Award/Penalize operator menu dropdown menu to select Team 2 (or click on Team 2's scorebox) to bring them “up to bat” and award their points.  Click "Save" after each team playing the Team Question, then click "Done" when you are finished.

Note: There is a specific, customized version of Slam-In designed to play Toss-Up Questions and Team Questions.  If you do not play Bonus Questions at all, please consider downloading our Toss-Up & Team Question format from our Help page.
