Assistance Tools Expert cards (EC) may be purchased for $20 each or $50 for three (3). Once the expert panel has provided their suggested answer, the team must decide whether to use that answer or not. If you would like to have assistance in answering a question you can opt to use an EC to get the opinions of our Panel of Experts. To use an EC, turn in your EC card in place of an answer, after the Panel has shared their opinion you have ten (10) seconds to submit your final answer. The first four rounds will have two (2) designated questions where an EC can be used. Each team is allowed to utilize no more than one EC per round. EC are not permitted in a tie breaker, should one arise.
