Question Writing 101

Asking the right questions: It's not just for quiz-bowl people!

The Kansas City Royals quiz their players. So far so good.

I presume you call can immediately spot what's wrong with the structure of a question like "Before a game starts, what are the first two things a player should check?"

(My answers were "his cup" and "the scheduled start time." The former might not qualify among "first two," but surely the latter is a potential disaster if you mistake a day game for a night game.)
