Jonah Greenthal: IHSA rules used to award (and maybe still award) fewer (but nonzero) points for "blurted" answers. Recognition rules have nothing to do with question formats per se.

In some quizbowl formats, players are required to be ''recognized'' by a game official before giving their answer on [[toss-up]] questions. Giving an answer without being recognized is treated as answering incorrectly regardless of what the player says.

This rule used to be more common, but has fallen out of favor in many formats as it would often unfairly punish enthusiastic players who knew the answer.
