RULE 2.5.4.1 IS CHANGED TO:
For all answers, including questions requiring specific answers, players who buzz in early are not permitted to repeat words in the question to stall for time to think of the answer. Players will be counted incorrect if they:
- Give an answer in the form of a question.
Example. If the question is “Where did Jesus perform his first miracle,” the player who buzzes in early and begins answering saying, “Where did Jesus perform his first miracle…Cana” is not correct. Player cannot simply repeat the question. S/he must answer it.
- Are, in the quizmaster’s judgment, pausing unnaturally between words (in addition to the one pause allowed in rule 2.5.1.3).
Example: Player buzzes in early and says, “Jesus… (pauses)… went… (pauses)… to… (pauses)… Cana.
Players are allowed to give the following:
- The required answer
- The required answer’s direct modifier(s)
- Insignificant words
- Words that are in the question that would naturally be part of answering that question.
Example: The question is “Where did Jesus perform his first miracle?” The answer is “Cana.” Player can buzz and say “Jesus performed his first miracle in Cana of Galilee.
Rule 2.8.0.2 is changed to:
Players are not permitted to buzz until after the Quizmaster has repeated the selected category and point value. However, if a player inadvertently buzzes in before the Quizmaster has read any part of a word into the question (not counting the category and point value), the board will be reset and the game will continue as though the player had not buzzed; otherwise, regular game rules apply and the player will be required to give an answer.
