A '''negstorm''' is a situation where the [[neg|negging]] of one player on a team causes other players to neg more than they otherwise would. Because the initial neg puts the team at a point disadvantage, other players, believing that points are desperately needed, will buzz earlier during [[tossups]], increasingly the likelihood that they too will neg. The process can become self-perpetuating and lead to a lot of negs by a team in one round, even if it does not usually neg.

 A '''negstorm''' is a situation where the [[neg|negging]] of one player on a team causes other players to neg more than they otherwise would to make up the scoring deficit. Because the initial neg puts the team at a point disadvantage, other players, believing that points are desperately needed, will buzz earlier during [[tossups]], increasingly the likelihood that they too will neg. The process can become self-perpetuating and lead to a lot of negs by a team in one round, even if it does not usually neg.
-More broadly, the term can be used to describe any situation where a quizbowl team negs more often than usual, especially if the negs ends up costing the team a game against another school that they expected to beat.
