Tata Crucible '10 Campus Format

As usual Pick Brain has decided to make this revolve around 20-20 cricket.

Progressive Increments (called overthrows) - where the value of a direct question is 6, if it passes to the next team the value becomes 7 and so on. The logic is if you can answer a question passed by 5 teams you deserve more than the base value of the answer.

PowerPlay - which can be deployed by a team only on direct questions and it gives you the chance to do a super six (double your score) but with a negative if you are wrong.
