4. Any question in progress at the end of a round will be completed.

5. Five seconds will be given to respond (by ringing bell) after a question is read.

6. Five seconds will be given to give an answer after responding (at the discretion of the Quizmaster). 

7. Five seconds will be given to respond to a rebound question (and five seconds to answer).

3. A player may respond to a question at any time during its reading.

4. Reading will stop when a response is made, and resume for the rebound (if necessary).

5. Teammates MAY confer BEFORE responding (that is, BEFORE ringing the bell), but NOT AFTER.
