Wordplay (2006): Crossword Puzzle Rules

The clip crossword puzzle rules from Wordplay (2006)

Well, welcome to the 28th American Crossword Puzzle Tournament.
I'm Will Shortz.
Here are the rules of the competition. There are seven puzzles that everyone does.
There's no elimination in this tournament. Everyone does all seven puzzles.
We'll start the clock. That will be our official time.
If you finish a puzzle early, raise your hand...
a referee will come by, pick up your paper.
You get, uh, 10 points for every answer that you enter correctly.
Twenty-five bonus points for each full minute by which you beat the time limit.
If either you leave a letter out or you make a mistake...
that will cost you 195 points.
The champions generally spend a little extra time after they finish a puzzle...
looking it over, making sure that every square is filled...
and that nothing silly has been put in a square.
Everyone ready?
