-A '''visual tournament''' is a type of [[side event]] which is played by viewing a set of pyramidally-ordered slides or images, rather than by reading a question on the page.

+==Format==
-The first visual tournament was the original [[Eyes That Do Not See]], which set the standard format for the medium. The tournament is run as a PowerPoint presentation, or occasionally as a projected PDF. Each tossup begins with a statement of what the question is asking for (e.g. "Identify the artist" or "Name the painting"). The "clues" for each tossup are a set of 6 to 10 slides. Each slide contains an image, such that the first slide contains the hardest image and the last slide the easiest image (imitating a regular pyramidal quizbowl tossup). Slides worth extra points have a different-colored background to indicate that they are worth power; regular slides for 10 points are black and the giveaway slide is green, to indicate the end of the tossup.
