1. Students are divided into teams.
2. Each team chooses a question and has thirty seconds to respond
correctly. Answers must be in the form of a question, although
Mr. Rosentel may not be too much of a stickler on this point.
3. If the team’s solution is correct, then it receives points for that
question. If it is incorrect, the next team may attempt to solve
the question until it is answered.
4. A different person from each team must serve as the
spokesperson to solve the question so that each group member,
has an opportunity to speak. The group members can help the
spokesperson.
5. During a Daily Double, the answer will count for double its
face value. So, if a team hits a Daily Double on 20, they will
win 40 if they answer correctly or lose 40 if they answer
incorrectly.
6. Final Jeopardy will be either when all the spots on the board
have been chosen or when 3 to 5 minutes remain. Each team
has the opportunity to wager up to all of its points. Once its
points are submitted, the question will be posted. Each team
will write down its answer and submit it to Mr. Rosentel.
7. The winner of the game is the team that ends up with the
greatest number of points.
