Each site will be a team. We will keep score at WSU for all teams. (Please select a person at your site to keep us honest.)
There are 2 “Daily Doubles” in the game. The groups that choose one of these can bet up to as many points as they have at the time, but not less than the value of the question on the board.

Rules (cont.) The answer must be in the form of a
question. A team has 10 seconds to confer and
pick a category. The moderator will automatically start with the lowest point value.
If the answer is correct, the team receives the points. If the answer is incorrect, the team loses that number of points.
back
Rules (cont.)
If the first team answers incorrectly, the moderator re-reads the question and other teams can buzz in and have a chance to answer correctly. This will continue until the question has been answered correctly.
The game ends when all the questions have been asked or if the time is 11:40 am.
The highest scoring team wins.
