Instructions

• Everyone plays along– All points are cumulative. If you miss one, just keep playing– Pick the most correct answer. This isn’t a cut-and-dry topic so you

may not be wrong… just not the most right.– Play to learn something, not just to be right.

• Everyone has a role in making meetings successful– Even if you aren’t the chair, there are a lot of things you can learn

here.

• First rule always – Come prepared! The more prepared everyone is, the better it will go.
