General Rules and Considerations
- A maximum of three teams can play in each game.
- There is a maximum of four players per team.
- Points are deducted for incorrect responses.
- Responses should be given in the form of a question, otherwise the response will be
- considered incorrect and the clue’s value will be deducted from the team’s score.
- Participants are not allowed to buzz in until the host finishes reading the clue. Buzzing in
- early should be considered as an incorrect response that leads to the clue value being
- deducted from the team’s score.

- team’s response should be considered incorrect and the clue’s value should be deducted from
- the team’s score.
- Only the team that selects the Daily Double may respond to the clue. In Jeopardy the Daily
- Double wager may be as high as the team’s total points at the time that the Daily Double is
- chosen or 500 points, whichever is greater. Similarly, the maximum Daily Double wager in
- Double Jeopardy is either the team’s total points or 1000 points, whichever is greater.
