In season 9, participant can choose how much runs they want for the question, it must be 6, 12, 18 or 24 points. If another challenges, he will get the points if he gets the correct answer and if he can't, he will negative markings. It is the same rule for the participant and the challenger in season 9. Taking help from Captain's Squad is no more available now. However, a 'Vaseline Clue' is given to the one who has the question. At first the challenger finalizes the answer then 'Dada' gives the one a help which aids to answer the question. Now each participant gets only one help in the whole round.
