b. If there are two answers separated by OR, the first answer shall be considered the final answers
c. In case the contestants need to change their answers, they shall cross out the previous answers
and rewrite the final answers, clearly enclosed by a circle or a rectangle.
d. Watchers will be assigned to ensure that no alterations are made on the Official Answer Sheets at
the end of the designated time limit.

2. The quiz master will first announce the corresponding category, time allotted for computation
and writing of final answer, and the equivalent point of each question.
5. Each Question will be read twice. The team may start solving the problem while the question is
still being read. The timer will start once the quizmaster says “Timer starts now.” When the
allotted time has elapsed, the quizmaster will say “Time is up.”

6. The candidates per team may discuss their answers within themselves, but the team must only
write one final answer on the Official Answer Sheet.

7. Upon the announcement of “Time is up”, the Official Answer Sheet must be raised
immediately. If a team fails to do so, it will be deemed that the team has given an
incorrect answer. The watchers will then retrieve the raised Official Answer Sheet and submit it
to the panel of judges for checking and verification. The Quizmaster will announce the teams
who got the correct answer as verified by the panel of judges.

8. Incorrectly spelled answers will constitute a wrong answer. Questions with numerical
answers must be solved without rounding off. If the numerical answer is not a whole number,
the answer must be expressed in four (2) decimal places unless otherwise specified.
Failure to comply will automatically make the answer incorrect.

9. Proper units must also be observed. However, if the question asks for an answer in certain
units, then the magnitude without a unit is acceptable. Example: How many centimeters are there
in a meter? Both the answers “100” and “100 cm” are acceptable.

10. No deductions will be made for incorrect answers and for unanswered questions.

11. No other materials, (e.g., reference books, notebooks, etc.), will be allowed during the contest.
 12. The total team score will be determined by summing up the scores in the easy, moderate and
difficult rounds. The team that is able to attain the highest total score will be awarded the
winner.
13. Ties shall be broken by sudden-death play-off. Tied teams will be asked a series of questions
until the tie is completely resolved. If the tie still exists after three tie-breaking questions, the
speed-play format will be followed. Teams will bid for the correct answer. The first team that will
give the correct answer within the allotted time will win the tie.
