Delay of Game: Seerat Quiz Competition does not accept instances of delay of game or instances of signalling. If an individual is found to be stalling, communicating information to others via a signal, or obstructing the natural flow of the game, the individual will receive a warning. If the behaviour persists, further action will be taken at the discretion of SQC up to and including a required forfeit and lifetime ban from the competitions.

Match Tiebreaker (if needed): Rules are similar to other rounds. If a team answer right they get 20 points. If they answer wrong they get minus 10 points.

Judging: SQC makes every effort to ensure a fair game, but the occasional mistake may occur. If the organisers become aware of a mistake, every effort will be made to correct it. Questions are repeated at the discretion of the organisers. Disputes or discrepancies should be voiced by the team at the end of a round. If the dispute is determined to be valid by the organisers, play stops and the discrepancy is addressed in the sole discretion of the SQC organisers. Scores may be adjusted, or questions eliminated, if necessary. Play then resumes. Any ambiguity or disputes that may arise concerning the rules of play and their interpretation is clarified or resolved by the organisers. In the event of a tie, the competition is final once a tiebreaker round has been completed and any further disputes or discrepancies have been addressed. No protests are accepted after the teams leave the competition’s venue.

Code of Conduct: To encourage a positive atmosphere and foster good sportsmanship, all participating teams (including audiences) are presumed to conduct themselves in a responsible and ethical manner. This includes, but is not limited to, treating all other teams, SQC organisers, and audience members with courtesy, abiding by all decisions of the Seerat Quiz Competition organisers, promptly reporting violations to the Seerat Quiz Competition organiser. Unsportsmanlike conduct includes any actions or comments by teams, or audience members which are intended to bait, anger, ridicule, or demean others, whether or not the deeds or words are vulgar, or in order to gain an unfair advantage during the competition. Public criticism of SQC, the organisers of Seerat Quiz Competition, any participating team players and audience members during the competition or taping will be considered disruptive and unethical.
