Final Jeopardy Rules
• This is a very quiet round, so you should only be whispering to your
group. You don’t want other groups to cheat do you?
• You have 1 minute to write your answer on the whiteboard.
• Figure out how many points you would like to wager. If you get it
right, you add on that amount, if you get it wrong, you lose that
amount.
• Only write the answer and wager. Do not draw on or write other
things.
