Qualification	Highest-scoring teams from the buzzer sessions advance to Round 3 (Grand Finale)

Additional Rules & Notes

The 10 qualifying teams from Round 1 will be divided into 2 groups of 5 teams each; each group competes for the round.
Questions are displayed one at a time on the projector/PPT screen; teams may buzz in only after the person finishes reading the question aloud.
Buzzing in before the question gets complete may result in the team being locked out for that question.
The 2 buffer questions are reserve questions — used only for tie-breaks between teams, or as replacements if a question is disputed or repeated.
A team may not confer with the audience or other teams; doing so forfeits their points for that question.
At the end of both buzzer sessions the highest-scoring teams (as decided by the committee, e.g. top 3–5) advance to the Round 3 Grand Finale.

Format	KBC-style question–answer round, one team on stage at a time
Number of Questions	10 questions per team, displayed on PPT+ 2 questions for lifelines
Flip Option	Each team may use the Flip option twice to swap a question for another if unsure (lifeline)
Wrong Answer	Marked with a redlight, team’s turn ends for that question.

Additional Rules & Notes

Each finalist team gets its own individual set of 10 questions, displayed one at a time on the auditorium screen, and answers on stage before the audience.
The Flip lifeline may be used twice per team and only before an answer is locked in — once flipped, the original question cannot be reattempted.
Each team is allotted the set of 10 questions on stage, including thinking time and any flip used.
The team with the highest score across for 3round will be the Mind Your Bizz Champion.
