Pot Black Answers – Sheet 3
Instructions: After a break where you collect the Bottom copies of all teams’ answer papers, you now read out the answers.
Firstly read out the value of the question – red ball – 1 point etc.
Read the question followed by the answer. Teams mark their own answers by putting the appropriate ball value in the box.
If a team/player gets the red ball question correct, they can attempt to score points on the colour ball question. If their red ball answer is incorrect, they score 0 points for that question plus they are unable to score any points for the next question whether their answer is right or wrong.
The winning team/player is the one with the most total points at the end of the quiz.
When teams have marked their answer papers and filled in their final score and highest break, check the highest claim against the carbon copy.
Give a prize for the highest score and highest break.
In the event of a tie for either prize, the closest in the tiebreaker wins.
