This document outlines the structure and rules of a science quiz competition between 5 teams (A-E). It consists of 4 rounds: 1) General science multiple choice questions. Teams have 10 seconds to answer each question. 2) Laboratory-based multiple choice questions. Teams have 30 seconds to answer each question. Unanswered questions pass to the next team with bonus points. 3) A photo identification round where teams must identify scientific equipment/processes from clues. 4) A one-minute rapid fire round of true/false general science questions with 5 points each.
