(upbeat music) - Welcome to Scholastic HI-Q.

The game where knowledge rules.

I'm your host, Jordan Splitsvilla.

And today we have two returning teams with us.

On the bottom row, we have Marion with Jace, Drew and Samantha.

And then on the top where we have returning Edwards county with Max, Zoe, and Emma.

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

I'm going to be reading a series of Toss-up questions, worth 10 points each that any contestant can answer.

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

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

If anyone challenges to interrupt me, the interruption rule is an effect.

And if they answer a question incorrect, the other team will automatically receive five points and they get to hear the entire question.

Of course, we've got our Lightning round halfway through our game.

Where I'll be reading a series of questions in any given category where both teams will have 60 seconds to answer as many as they possibly can.
