-* Vulturing with an incorrect answer is regarded as pretty much the worst thing you can do. This sometimes called a '''neg vulch''' or '''double neg''', even though in most modern formats, there is no [[neg]] penalty for a second incorrect answer.
+* Vulturing with an incorrect answer is regarded as pretty much the worst thing you can do. This sometimes called a '''neg vulch''' or '''double neg'''. There is no [[neg]] penalty for a second incorrect answer in most quizbowl formats, though this does exist in [[Science Bowl]].
 * A '''power vulch''' is the act of interrupting a question immediately after the other team has negged in an attempt to [[power]] the question.  Though this can result in a double neg, it is generally not looked down upon if the player answers the tossup correctly and gets power.
