• Questions in Blue will be Option Questions If
  answered correctly pick and option card and
  follow directions.
• Options Include Some cards will be immediately
  rewarded, others can be used when your team
  chooses.
• 2, take a point from another team, free pass
  (when dont know an answer), switch team scores
  (you have to know score), add a team member until
  next option, -1

• Questions in Red will result in a team change
  after the question is read. These are random
  changes. Same team members cannot be selected
  more than once during a team change.
