There was also a Jeopardy Clam Award, but was removed because vBulletin got shut down, since the award was a part of VBExperience. The silver username prize that used to be available for most of Season 2 was also removed early in Season 3 due to the team reform.

'''Rule #1:''' 10-second limit
'''Rule #1:''' 10-second limit


In the real Jeopardy game, Alex would read the question and then after the question is read, the contestants could answer. Well, to make up for that, we have the 10-second limit! Here's how it works: The host will say the answer in the chat. Right afterwards, the 10 seconds starts. You may type your answer into the box within those 10 seconds, but don't send. Then, after 10 seconds, he will say "QUESTIONS IN!" Once he says that, you can say your question (e.g. What is Gary the Snail?). If you say it too early, however, the answer will not be counted. The first person to get it right gets the points.

'''Rule #2:''' You will never lose points, even if you answer incorrectly. Two reasons why: 1) It's frustrating; 2) The host is already overworked as it is... do you really want to trouble them with negative points?


Exception: Final Jeopardy and Daily Barnacles are the only time you will actually lose points.

You are not allowed to search for an answer online, unless it is for a Final Jeopardy or Daily Barnacle (if the Barnacle says you can use the internet anyways). If the host suspects you are searching for an answer online outside of those two exceptions they will have the right to kick you or take away points.

Don't get lazy and abbreviate your answers...we're not barbarians, people.
Don't get lazy and abbreviate your answers...we're not barbarians, people. Exception: There may be a few SBC users (such as: MDPP, CNF, OMJ, Nuggets, etc.) whose names might be too long to type out, and could hinder your chances of winning. It's fine if you abbreviate those.

It is fine if you abbreviate those. However, there is no excuse to abbreviate "What is SpongeBob?" as "What is SB?" Who IS SB? The host doesn't know!
