As a result of this, if a tossup is rebounded, it is generally considered poor form to buzz before the moderator finishes the question, because forthcoming information that could lead to a more certain answer can be heard without the risk of an opponent buzzing ; this breaking of this unwritten rule is sometimes known as vulching.
