They consist of an oto-neurological quiz. They provide a fun opportunity for peers to share knowledge. They are characterised by enthusiasm, good humour and also a touch of courage and daring on the part of all participants. The audience can look forward to an hour of entertainment, learning and, perhaps, a touch of dizziness and a racing heart if their chosen team’s answers aren’t quite spot on.
General rules:
- There are 5–6 teams, each comprising 4–5 people, with a spokesperson. Each team, with a name chosen by the members themselves, is represented by a colour, with matching T-shirts provided by the organisers. Ideally, the teams will consist of trainees and specialists, to encourage interaction between different age groups.
- The game consists of around 15 questions, with 2.5 minutes to give an answer. There are 3 tie-breaker questions in the event of a draw between teams.
- The questions will be based on videos and clinical cases, as well as the history of otoneurology, and will have five answer options, with the level of difficulty ranging from easy to very difficult, in order to encourage discussion within the team.
- Each team starts the tournament with 20 points. If they answer correctly, one point is added; if they answer incorrectly, one point is deducted from that team’s score.
A certificate of participation for all teams and a prize for the winning team.
