Wheelhouse: Rules

Wheelhouse will (finally) begin on Monday, October 17th and run every weekday until all submitting expert BBs have had their chance (currently 11 submissions). Each "exhibit" will be posted in the early morning (0730 EDT) and will be open for around 24 hours (or until the answers are posted).

Very Important Note: When it is your exhibit day, you must be available to play. I will contact every BB several days before to verify this. Please check your email/PMs frequently. If you can't be "here" on your day I will gladly reschedule.

General rules:

Each Wheelhouse exhibit will consist of several questions of varying value. Questions may be multiple choice, fill in the blanks, fast-finger ordering, photo identification or just "answer the question."

Everyone can play, even if you are not one of the experts.

No outside sources allowed.

There is no penalty for an incorrect answer, so SWAG away.

It is not necessary to guess the identity of the expert BB.

I will not identify the expert BB for any exhibit until the answers are revealed.

Scoring:
Each question has an assigned points value (typically 1 to 5).

Bonus Points (up to five) are awarded for any BB who scores higher than the expert.

I reserve the right to modify these rules slightly, if necessary.

Note: If you haven't submitted your expert categories and still wish be one it's not too late. Send me your five wheelhouse categories via PM or email (vandalrmc@comcast.net) and I'll put you on the list. The more the merrier.

FYI: I'm starting trial on October 31, and it'll go for about two weeks. My time will be increasingly precious from now until it's over. --Bob

How will the experts know what day is his or her exhibit day?
