Spartacus Academic Team
What Is the Academic Team?
The academic team competes in quiz-based competitions that tests players on a wide variety of academic subjects. The game is typically palyed with a lockout buzzer system between two teams, usually consisting of four players each team. A moderator reads questions to the players who try to score points for their team by buzzing first and responding with the correct answer.
