==== On-Airs (Single Songs and Trivia Questions) ====
On-air songs-- 1 point apiece. This means title and artist.
On-air questions-- 1 point apiece.
"Three-point plays"-- Occasionally there are two-part trivia questions, or questions with multiple answers (i.e. name all seven Dwarves). In such a case, 1 point might be awarded to teams naming any 4 of the dwarves, with an additional 2nd point for naming all seven.
Hour Bonuses-- 10 points for teams using the internet; 15 points without.
Super Bonuses-- 25 points for teams using the internet; 40 points without. A 20/25 scale may have been used in May 2005.
