That's a great point, Doug. What some of the better moderators do
is, when playing on a question set with powers, is say "Correct for
10" or "Correct for 15" (or just "10" or "15") after each correct
buzz. That way, there's never any ambiguity at all. Teaching new
moderators to do just that, I think, would be helpful for future
events.
