Witzzle Pro Contest

Proctoring Procedures

Page 1 of 2

 
Preparation:
1. Check table/group sign up.
2. Check that all the participants are present.
3. Ideally, have an assistant to help you with the contest and help you judge which contestant raises their paper first.
4. Make sure that the solution sheets, pencils and scratch paper are in place.
A. Setting up (done before each round):
1. All participants should be sitting around the table. Proctor should stand behind them or to end of table.
2. Shuffle the Witzzle Pro cards and select the top 11 cards for play use.
3. Place the cards face down, centered, on the table.
4. Make sure all participants understand all rules before going on. ( If time allows, use the 12th card as a practice card for each group/table.)
B. Preparation (done for each card):
1. Turn over the top card from the stack.
2. Read each number slowly and clearly, Make sure that the numbers are read from the same row horizontally. No vertical or diagonal reading. Contestants write down the numbers on sheets.
3. Say "Put pencils down!"
4. Reset the stopwatch or sand timer. Allow 1 minute per card.
5. Roll the number cubes in tray/basket for target number. Participants should NOT be able to see in order to be fair to all. Put tray/basket down on table.
6. Announce the target number twice and say "Begin!" immediately. Contestants write the target number on their solution sheets and solve.
 
7. Start the stopwatch as you say "Begin!".
8. When a participant has an answer, he will raise his paper. Refer to part C.
9. If time runs out before any correct solution is given:
a. If this is the first time this has occurred for this card, repeat procedure B from number 3, rolling for a new target number.
b. If this has already occurred once for this card, replace and draw a new card from the stack not in play. Treat this as a completely new card and start procedure B all over.
C. Solution Verification (done when paper raised):
1. Stop the stopwatch's countdown.
2. Say "STOP! Pencils down! Stop Writing!" Proctors confirm before continuing.
3. If there is more than one participant with paper raised, advance to procedure D.
4. Verify participant's solution.
a. If solution is correct, read the solution out loud. Award the participant the card to mark this point. Repeat procedure B with the next card in the stack.
b. If solution is incorrect, explain why solution is incorrect. Then let other participants continue working and continue stopwatch countdown. The participant who gave the incorrect solution may not give another solution until the next problem begins (after either this one is solved or a new target number is rolled).
