GUIDELINES FOR SCORING CMT:
1. For 'regular trivia', one point is earned for each correctly answered trivia question (as judged by the hostess) 'First' 'Best' answer normally getting the point! Additional points are available in FARSCAPE SPECIAL or OPEN QUESTION trivia posted by the Hostess. The point value of each FARSCAPE SPECIAL or OPEN QUESTION are posted with the question.
2. Precision is 'important' (this IS trivia, after all!
3. Watch-out for ‘key words’ in the question. They can often lead you to the correct answer. The questioner may sometimes get a little tricky (I know I can be too clever for my own good in my attempts to lead you astray! )
4. IF the question poster asks for a “quote”, an EXACT quote is needed for the point. Otherwise first most correct response with “words to that effect” gets the point.
5. IF the question poster uses word/words like "tell" or "tells", a general descriptive response is good for the point.
6. Question uses word/words like, "what happens/happened when...?" A general descriptive response is good for the point.
7. REPEAT TRIVIA: No points are earned for answering Trivia if the 'replacement question' is a trivia question is a repeat from the CURRENT ROUND. No points are earned for answering trivia questions repeated from the CURRENT ROUND. The Game Host has final determination if a question repeats a question already posted/answered within CURRENT ROUND. Q&A from prior rounds are available for the Q&A in the current round.
8. POINTS NOT AWARDED: Points are, of course, not awarded for incorrect answers, but if you're 'positive you are correct', just email the hostess. She's usually open to discussion and/or correction of the tally after verification, although points are NOT deleted from a players score once awarded.
Oh, and hey, if you answer, but don’t give a question (or post a repeater)… that would be counted as an ‘incorrect’ response, and next player can grab what would have been your points. Exercise caution!
