Can you Tribute a face down monster without flipping it face up for a Tribute Summon?

Yes. Face-down monsters can be tributed for tribute summons, card effects, etc.


What is the difference between Normal Summoning a Level 4 or lower monster and a Level 5 or higher monster?

Not a lot, really. Normally a Lv5+ monster will need one or two tributes, depending on actual level, and this is called a Tribute Summon, which is still just a regular Normal Summon. However some cards let you ignore that, like Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn can under some circumstances be Normal Summoned without tribute. Basically a Normal Summon is a Normal Summon, whether it required tribute or not.


Can you summon 'Phoenix Gearfried' from your hand without tribute?

The only way you can do it is by using an external effect. Ancient Rules can special summon it, for example, Mausoleum of the Emperor can let you pay 2000LP to Normal Summon it without tribute. Phoenix Gearfried's 'second summon' to activate its Gemini effect, does not require tribute. But unless you've got a specific way around it, you still need to tribute two monsters to summon it initially from hand.


What are the summoning rules of Yu Gi Oh?

Each card has a certain amount of stars at the top. 4 or less stars means that you can summon without a tribute which means to sacrifice a card. 5-6 stars means to sacrifice 1 monster. 7+ means to sacrifice 2 monsters. These rules apply, unless stated otherwise on a card.


Does a flip effect activate when the monster is destroyed by the effect of another monster?

Flip effects will activate if flipped manually by Flip Summon, or when attacked. Also must include "FLIP" in all caps for its effect to activate, or say 'when this card is turned face-up'. For example if a monster such as Guardian Sphinx is flipped face up by an attack or an effect (spell, trap or monster), the effect does not activate, because only a Flip Summon triggers it, not a generic flip. When a card effect destroys a face-down monster, the monster is destroyed and flip effect isn't activated because the monster never flips. Mystic Swordsman Lvl. 4 destroys the monster it attacks without flipping it, so a Flip Effect monster attacked by it will not get its flip effect. To summarize, if a FLIP effect monster is attacked while face down, then it will activate. But if it's destroyed by a card effect while face down then it won't activate. Some card effects let you flip monsters face up and let the flip effect activate, like book of taiyou. But others, like ceasefire don't let it activate. If it says 'when this card is flipped face up' then you have to do that manually on your own turn.

Does flip effects work from special summon in Yu-Gi-Oh?

A flip effect only works if you flip summon a monster, or if your opponent attacks your face down monster (granted they don't have an effect that negates the activation of a flip effect monster or destroys it without flipping, like Drillroid) Most special summons require the monster to be face up, therefore not letting the flip effect to have a change to activate.
