Once the moderator finishes reading a question – assuming that no one has rung-in early – the
"Done Reading" button should be clicked. (Or, if you are operating Slam-In using keyboard
shortcuts, you can press the Spacebar to start timers.) Slam-In starts the question’s Ring-In
Timer and displays the standard right/wrong operator menu:
Click on "Right Answer" (or press the "B" key) if their answer is correct and on "Wrong
Answer" (or press the "Backspace" key) if it is incorrect. Whatever point value you have
assigned in Setup will be added to the ring-in winner’s score if they are correct. In this
case, Slam-In assumes that a Bonus Question will follow and automatically selects the
Toss-Up Question winner as the first (or only) team to play a bonus.
If your format calls for a Wrong Answer Penalty, then whatever penalty you specified in
Setup will be assessed if they are incorrect. If there is no Wrong Answer Penalty in your
competition format, then no points are deducted, and the game proceeds to another
Toss-Up Question.
Note: If your format allows a subsequent ring-in and answer attempt by other teams after
the first team to ring-in answers incorrectly, then Slam-In accommodates this by allowing
you to set the Wrong Answer Retry? option in Setup to "Yes".
