The rules have specific but slightly convoluted definitions for compound words, plurals, and possessives, and require exact frequency counts (e.g., 'Freedom 5+ times'). Disputes are highly likely if the speaker mumbles, goes off-script, or if there are discrepancies between the live audio and the official transcript.

While guessing the broad theme of a commemorative political address is standard, betting on the exact inclusion of highly specific words like 'Ballroom' or 'Mama', or exact frequency counts, is a highly unusual and classic novelty prop bet.
