The tournament is run as a PowerPoint presentation.  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.
