Kidder's law is attributed to Dwight Kidder and states that "there is no shame, only points."
The Berkeley lexicon defines the phrase as "an expression uttered by or to a player who has just correctly answered a question on a particularly embarrassing topic, such as crappy bands, pornography, or long-forgotten TV shows."[1]
This phrase is also used in trivia events - episode 67 of the trivia podcast "Complete The List" (hosted by former quizbowler Andy Saunders and featuring Colby Burnett) is titled "No Shame, Only Points".[2]
