Skatoony Rounds

Bang On! or Bogus?

Bang On or Bogus is the first round of the show. A rapid-fire true-or-false questioning round with "Bang On!" meaning true, and "Bogus!" meaning false. This round is played in all episodes of Skatoony.

Skatoony Quiz Champ Challenge

At the end of three rounds, the remaining contestant takes on the Skatoony Quiz Champ Challenge, where they must answer ten questions correctly in 90 seconds.

• Earl's Halfway Deal: Halfway through the round, the Earl will offer the contestant a deal. He will give the person extra points however he will also take away some time, the player has a choice of whether to accept or reject the deal. However, if a contestant has 8 points or higher by the time they reach the halfway point, Earl will not offer a deal. Originally in quiz to the future the earl says that he just wants to take points away if the player gets 8 or more points but Chud won’t let him.

  

• There is a variant of both in "Trash Talk" called, respectively, Time to Play for a Prize! and La-Re's Magical Middle Moment, in which both play the same as the above.
• The only time the show didn't perform any variant of the Halfway Deal was in the NA version of Quizoo because Kira managed to score 10 points under 45 seconds.
