Scoring & Hosting Guidance
- Announce Date Precision Rules: Before reading history questions, state clearly whether teams need the exact month and day or only the calendar year.
- Accept Phonetic Names: Historical names from foreign languages (e.g., ancient Egyptian pharaohs or Soviet leaders) should be awarded points for reasonable phonetic spellings.
- Use Historical Dates as Tie-Breakers: Keep numerical date questions (e.g., "In what exact year was the Magna Carta signed?") ready as tie-breaker questions.
