XIII. Coach’s Appeal and Judges’ Ruling/Vote
A. Appeals and Judges’ Ruling/Vote
1. Each team is allowed only one coach’s appeal per match
with the following stipulations:
- An appeal may only be used when changing rulings of
"incorrect" to "correct."
- An appeal is limited to citing a guideline for
consideration by officials; no additional comments will be allowed.
- All procedures for appeals will be followed. (XIII.
B. Page 18)
2. Each team is allowed two "judges’ rulings/vote" with the
following stipulations:
- A coach will be allowed to call for a "judges’
ruling/vote" immediately after the Quiz Master’s independent ruling and
before the next question called, a time out is granted, or the match
closed.
- A coach may only request a "judges’ ruling/vote" no
other comments will be allowed. If a coach does comment, the request for
the ruling is lost.
- Should the Quiz Master begin with the introduction of
the next question, the "judges’ Ruling" will not be allowed.
- The judges will vote by coin without conferring.
After the vote the quizmaster will announce the decision.
