Hello once again.

And we are in the middle of a challenge.

And we have our expert, Walter Woody, here to explain a little bit about what's going on.

What have you been able to find out?

Well, there challenging I think the pronunciation or explanation of the answer, given there's many different ways you could challenge.

You can challenge an alternate answer or the answer they gave may be incorrect or or or mispronounced.

Total mispronunciation of a word.

So.

And the teams have five minutes to to introduce the challenge.

And then once it goes there, any counter challenges also had to be presented at the same time.

And then then it goes to the judges, and then they'll make a determination of whether the challenge is accepted, which would take away the ten points, or if it was denied, which would keep the score as it is.

So I'm curious.

We've been at this since 9:00 this morning with several matches going on, and this is actually our first challenge.

Is that unique?

Is that common?

Is it uncommon?

It just depends.

Sometimes teams will will answer one way and then we'll have an alternate answer.

But you know, when you have a good questions.

And over the years, most of these tournaments, the questions are well written and the teams do a really good job with answering.

So it just depends on the situation of the tournament and whether or not challenges they think are are warranted.

And how about regard with regard to strategy?

Is there ever a time that it's good to challenge, or maybe even not to challenge?

Well, there's there's different times and in different situations.

I mean, here, if you're either trying to gain a point because in this situation, if it turns out it's wrong, they could be presented.

The other team that won the challenge could be presented an alternate question, and get to bounce back for that answer.

And so, you know, it just depends on on how that that plays.

I mean, if you're if it's a really tight game, you want to get those, you want to get those points back, to either get closer or to pull away and to have a bigger lead.

And let's talk a little bit about these teams, a little background and, and how they've been doing here today.

Well, these two teams played in the regional, I believe, hostile Bentonville defeated hostile Fayetteville in the regionals, but that's, but both teams came in, they cost almost ten and, oh, in the postseason, regionals and state and hostile Fayetteville's nine and one.

So, these two are very quality teams.

They have great programs.

I mean, they've combined for 13 state titles since around 2006.

So they're they're two of the top programs in three by far.

And talk a little bit about just the work that goes into this, not just for the students, the coaches, everybody involved.

Oh, you're starting I mean, first day of school, the first week of school, you're already trying to gather who wants to try out, who wants to be on the team.

Then you're already, you know, usually, most schools across the state, they're having coaches meetings by Labor Day or in that neighborhood, you're scheduling matches, tournaments over most schools that are they're hosting tournaments already have them announced and teams are registering for them.

So it is a year long process.

It is what we congratulate everyone for, even just getting here.

But it sounds like the challenge has been resolved.

So we want to head over to the quizmaster to find out how the judges rule.

All right.

So our challenge was on question number six of our dystopian novels.

And the challenge was that the answer, A Clockwork Orange was mispronounced as Clock of Orange.

Which is what was heard by the judges on the other side.

And so what will happen here is ten points will be removed from household Bentonville.

And because it was a first choice answer, household Fayetteville would be given a chance of a bounce back for a one item for six seconds on the clock to be able to be as a bounce back.

All right.

So James here's going to be your your, information in the clock will start once I'm finished.

The clue, Vonnegut's short story in which people are given mental and physical handicaps so everyone is equal.

Harrison Bergeron That's correct.

So at this point, our scores are slightly different.

Now we have 275 for household Fayetteville and 165 for household Bentonville.

I know both teams for wanting to do some substitutions.

So if we can go ahead and throw that back to Christina when we get our substitutions here, that would be, what we to do.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

And once again, stick around with us because we will be right back after this.

I love it, I love it.

We're on the precipice of a great discovery.

Oh, I'm up here.

Whoa, whoa, Nelly, let's set this palace on fire.

Welcome to the NewsHour.

What does it mean politically?

Oh, fasten your seatbelts.

I love it.

I love it, I should hear it.

You make a good team.

I.

So we had a challenge that needed to be resolved.

We've had some substitutions, but with that, we can now begin round four.

So for that, we head back over to the quizmaster.

Take it away, Josh.

All right, so going into our fourth quarter, we have couple substitutions.

And Ruth is joining us over here on the hustle.

Fayetteville and Arash has come back in for Hoss Hall, Bentonville.

I believe everyone else is still in place.

And so we will go ahead and do our fourth quarter, which is 20 Tossups.

So if everyone is ready, let's begin.
