Online Tournament Guide

Moderator Information

Contents

    This page of NAQT’s online tournament guide details the responsibilities and tasks of a moderator that are specific to online tournaments. It assumes you are familiar with the basics of quiz bowl, including gameplay rules, reading questions, and evaluating responses. If these topics are new to you, seek guidance from the tournament director, your local quiz bowl association, or NAQT itself.

    As with the rest of this guide, this page assumes the tournament is following NAQT’s recommendations for videoconferencing technologies, game format, rule changes, and tournament policies.
