    Game rules choose one person as the judge and the judge decides which cases the teams will deliberate or play

    Important note the judge should be someone that has an open and humorous personality to guide the questions

    and add personality to each question The judge makes the final verdict of which team is awarded points First team

    to 200 points wins The judge can pick a brand new question in a new category for each round or

    pick a multiple questions scenario to speed game play from the remaining players choose teams from 1 to

    must only award points based on the winning team's oral arguments or cases stated Each judge's verdict is worth various

    points based on the complexity of the question stated The judge's role is to listen

    to decide all the stated cases from the team's own viewpoint The judge must remain neutral

    and never base the winners or losers on his or her own belief system or what would

    be her or his own personal value decision But by the hilarity or creativity of a stated

    case or answer in the first round The judge decides who goes first and the

    rotation of the team or teams the winning team gets to pick who will answer first or last

    on the next question and or scenario and preceding cases the judge must read each question out loud then must

    say state your case and read off how many points the question is worth and the amount of time the

    teams have to debate the question then start the timer Each team will have from

    up each team will have one minute to state their case to the judge The judge

    is encouraged to speak to each team during discussion periods to help the flow of the game and to let

    them know how much time is left on the clock each team will state their case after the allotted discussion

    period When instructed by the judge or the judge can elect to penalize the team

    by taking 20 points from the team for stalling If no answer is given after the allotted debate

    time the same time allowance will be given to each team during the oral argument A

    team can answer a question with multiple team members speaking in turn or they can choose a

    team captain to speak for the team group acting or performances by a team are highly

    encouraged and required in some scenarios No at least one member of each team must have the

    judge's cell phone number Since some scenarios require each team to text an answer or information to the

    judge to keep the other team from stealing their answer or to get awarded bonus points

    Again before the debate timer is started the judge must always verbalize the fact that

    she or he is starting the timer by saying out loud state your case You will need to
