2 Rules Each group must send up one challenger per question.
You must take turns; one person cannot come up more often than the rest of the group. When you are the challenger, you may not use notes or consult your group. You must write your answer on the board clearly. Peeking at others’ boards or receiving aide from someone in the class will disqualify the challenger. Group members sleeping, working on other things, talking, or shouting out answers/insults/useless trivia will lose their group points.
