E-QUEST-TRIAD

General Mechanics:
1. The team needs to state the order of their race/sequence of their rounds before they
start the actual race.
2. Contestants are allowed to talk and communicate with one another unless the mechanics
of the round says otherwise.
3. The mechanics of each round will be flashed on the screen and once all members
understand the mechanics the Team Leader will say “FIRE” that will serve as the counting
time starting point and as soon as the team cleared the round they must all say the word
“HALT”, the counting time ending point per round.
4. The team is responsible for reading the mechanics of each round. Facilitators are only
responsible for answering the queries raised through a “yes” or “no” answer even when the
round has already commenced.
5. Team member participants will be given five (5) minutes in reading the mechanics of the
round. After each round, the team will be given three (3) minutes to raise a question, a
protest, or a clarification before they can proceed to the next round. If there are no
questions, protests, or clarifications or after the allotted time has elapsed, the facilitator
shall proceed to the next round. Hence, protests, clarifications, or any concerns shall no
longer be entertained. The allotted time shall not be included in the accumulated time of
each team.
6. During the race proper, facilitators will utilize the chatbox to answer the queries to avoid
distracting the participating team in the race or consuming their time.

the counting time cue word (FIRE). The counting time will start when the Team Leader say
the word “FIRE” and any clarifications raised after it will be counted in the running time.

will be added to the running time of the specific round where they ask for clues (e.g., round
9. When the team opts to use their clue cards, one member must say “CLUE”. Below are the
point equivalent of clues:

CLUES EQUIVALENT POINTS

One Letter Additional 1 minute
One-word hint Additional 3 minutes
Definition Additional 5 minutes
10. Teams who opt to PASS a certain question in each round will have an additional three (3)
minutes to their running time.
11. In an instance where a team with three (3) to five (5) minutes running time already gives
up on a certain, they may opt to have an additional twenty (20) minutes to their running
time in order to proceed to the next round. However, if the team already has a running time
of more than five (5) minutes, they may opt to proceed to the next round with an additional
fifteen (15) minutes to their running time.
12. Participants are allowed to have reserve or backup devices.
