- Not to be confused with list tossups or list studying.
A list bonus is a single question with more than one answer that is used for an entire bonus, with points given based on how correct answers can be enumerated by a team. This is in contrast to the bonus format more common today, in which there are three separate questions, each of which has a single answer. List bonuses are rarely used in modern quizbowl with their usage fading away around the year 2000 due to many players feeling that they were less interesting than other bonuses.
Examples
- You get 5 points for one, 10 for two, 20 for three and 30 for getting all four answers correct. Name the four states that meet at the Four Corners.
- There are six answers, with five points for each answer. Name the six novels written by Jane Austen.
