LBS. "Little Bitty Stumpers" (RULES)



The rules to "LBS." one are simple.

A category and question will be posed.  All you must do is answer the question by tweeting a response.  This is not only a game about knowledge, but also about speed: the faster you get your answer in, the more points you will earn.

Each question will have a MAXIMUM of 30 Minutes in which to be answered.  1 point will be given for every minute that is remaining on the clock when your answer is received.  You get no points if your answer is wrong.

As of now, only ONE ANSWER may be submitted per person.  If you happen to submit more than one, only your FIRST answer will count.  This could change, so be prepared.


Shall we do an example?  Ok.  A question tweet may look like this:

LBS.: History (HIS.1): How Many Times Did Henry VIII Marry in 1540? [30Min]

The (parenthesis) tell you what category it is as well as what question it is.  The [brackets] tell you how long you have to answer.

A submitted answer should look like this:

@TwitGamez: LBS. HIS.1: Two Times.

Use the shortened category name to save space.  And make sure to specify which question your are answering by also using the number, as some rounds may have multiple questions.

When the answer is finally revealed, it'll look like this:

LBS. ANS HIS.1: Twice. First to Anne of Cleves, then to Catherine Howard.

If you received any points, you'll be notified via Twitter.  A score update will also be tweeted at the end of each round.

That's the gist of it.  Enjoy!
