HOW IT WORKS
Each round will have 3 questions. The topics for the
three questions will be listed at the beginning. You
will be able to wager 1, 2, and 3 points once each
per round. For instance, if you bet 3 points on the
first question, you cannot use it again that round. In
the 2nd round, points are doubled. In the 3rd round,
points are tripled. At the end of three rounds, the
team can pick how much to wager for the final
question. Winner is whoever ends up with the most
points.
