followed. THE POUNCE........... Lets assume that I ask a question to team 1. Team 1

should not answer the question . Instead, the other teams, if they know the answer, can write their answer in the paper given. If the written answer is correct, that team will get 10 points. But, if it’s wrong, 5 points will be reduced from their total score. After I close the pounce, team 1 can answer the question aloud. If the answer is right, +10(No negative for answering aloud).
