Each table consists of a team.
A new person will answer a question each round.
You will have 30-60 seconds to discuss the answer
to a question with your team.
If it is your turn, you will then immediately
answer the question.
If you are correct, your team will get 1 point for
the correct answer. Your team will also get the
opportunity to shoot a ball into the trashcan from
a 1, 2, or 3 point line.
If the shot is made, that team gets extra-credit.
