(gentle music) (upbeat music) - Welcome to Scholastic HI-Q the game where knowledge rules.

I'm your host, Jordan Spudville.

And today we have two great looking teams with us, ready to play our game.

On the bottom row we have Trico with Silas, Sarah, and Keegan.

And on the top where we have Edwards county with Molly, Zoe, and Emma.

Now that we've met our players, it's time to go over the rules.

I'll be reading a series of 10 point toss-up questions that any contestant can answer.

If a contestant answers a toss-up correctly, their team gets a chance to answer a 20 point bonus question.

However, if their team gets that bonus question incorrect, the other team can snatch it away from them and earn themselves 10 points.

The interruption rule is in effect in today's game.

So if someone dares to interrupt me, but they answer incorrectly, the other team will automatically receive five points and they get to hear the entire question.

As usual, we have our lightning round halfway through our game where I'll be reading a series of questions in any given category that both teams will have a chance to answer as many as they possibly can in 60 seconds.
