Thanks to Mary from CBI for correcting me on the one point -- the
score change did make it 165-145, before ND was read the TU and
given the bonus. Thus they needed 10 pts on the bonus to tie or
more to win.
I have another question, though. Our resulting 30 point bonus was a
2-part, 15 per answer bonus. Norte Dame's was a 30-20-10. Do
people think that the structure of the bonus should remain the same,
in order to preserve some semblance of continuity of difficulty
(seeing as how the desire was to re-create match conditions in some
way)?
Also, I would also be curious to know why CBI decided to give only
ND the toss-up (as was posited by one post). I understand that is
the normal procedure if, say, ND had buzzed in but one of our
players had answered, for example, but why penalize a team that had
done nothing but follow the directions of the moderator?
