What does everyone think about the new question on the toss-up? Do you think it is better to do it that way 'cause I hate it!

Less fouls - quizmaster heaven. It never bothered me either way, but I guess I preferred having the same question for the toss-up.

I like having the same question, regardless of the fouls.

I am somewhat new to this concept, having only quizzed AACS style for 2 years, but I personally enjoyed the repeating of the question to the other teams. Now that may have something to do with it being the only way my team had a chance at some tournaments, one can never tell…
To me it added a certain element to the quiz that I have not found in any other style except AG (not sure if they still do it or not). I am not sure I can explain it accurately and so will forbear at this time.
Fare ye well,
David Thomas.

I think having the same toss-up is better if a quizmaster lets the quizzers jump when he starts the word question not when he ends it. It is a lot easier to judge if you have started a word then ended it.

I would totally go with keeping the same toss-up. If a quizzer knows his verses well enough to know the toss-up question, don't punish them by changing the question. I also think that getting up when they start question should be fine.

Just make question a one syllable word than you'll never have to worry about not getting enough out. A quizmaster at the DC Invitational did it and it was awesome! Though some of the quizmasters from down South might have some problems talking that fast…..

You better watch it, that makes up the majority of quiz masters.

Slow and consistent is always best… FYI, those faces get way overused on this forum.

Even though some the quizmasters from the South are a little slower, it's not like we're doing them a favor by letting them quizmaster us. So I think should respect them since they put so much time into quizzing. They have a hard time understanding people that talk fast. A part of being a good quizzer is being able to adjust to different quizmasters. I do appreciate all the time and money so many people put into quizzing for us.

Certainly. They do a great job quizmastering us, almost all the good quizmasters out there are from the South. I'm just not used to it, i guess I should be by now…
