  3. The quiz master shall give signal 15 minutes before the contest.

  4. Every participant should be in the room 10 minutes before the start of the contest. Immediate disqualification will be implemented to those contestants who failed to show up 5 minutes after the supposed start of the quiz bee.

  5. During the contest proper, the contestants must assure to:

    • I. have a good internet connection,
    • II. use headsets or earphones for better audio,
    • III. prepare 30-50 sheets of 1/2 half-crosswise of long bond paper and black markers or any paper that is visible and handwriting must be legible. Illegible answers are automatically wrong.

  6. During the contest proper, the contestants must observe the following rules.

    • I. No other applications or browsers will be opened except for Zoom.
    • II. The camera must be always turned on and should focus on the contestants. The Quiz Master shall read the question while the question itself will be flashed on the screen for the contestants to see.
    • III. CHEATING AND COACHING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

  7. If a player is disconnected in the middle of the competition, they will be granted two (2) minutes to reconnect to the game (failure to return after the allotted time will result in an immediate disqualification from the game). The challenge, however, will continue, and the questions they did not answer will be marked incorrectly.

  8. The questions shall be provided by the CICT Student Council and shall be taken from the following subject areas:

    • Basic Programming

They must wait for the signal “GO” from the quiz master before they write their answers. Participants are only given fifteen (15) seconds for easy round and 20 seconds for average and difficult round to write their answers. After the allotted time, the bell will ring signifying that participants are no longer allowed to write their answers and must raise their papers. Failure to do so after the bell rang would mean that the contestants will be losing a point.
