PART ONE · 4 QUESTIONSFace off, then clear the board
Part one. Buzz first to answer. The top answer takes control at once. Any other answer joins the pot and the other team answers: the higher ranked answer wins control, and misses pass down both teams. The team with control plays the board or passes it. Two wrong answers end the turn, not three, and the other team gets one answer for the whole pot. A correct steal is revealed, its own points join the pot, and the stealing team takes all of it. A missed steal leaves the pot with the team that was playing. Clearing the board banks the pot with no steal. There are no strikes in the face-off.
PART TWO · 4 QUESTIONSOne player each, the decider
Part two. Buzz first to answer. The top answer pays double and ends the question, so the other player gets nothing. Any other answer on the board pays face value, and the other player then gets one shot. Nothing on the board pays nothing, and the other player gets that same shot. The shot is at the top answer only: any other answer, on the board or not, scores nothing and is not revealed. A successful shot pays the top answer at double, and a missed shot leaves it unclaimed. There are no strikes in part two.
IF IT IS LEVELSudden death on the reserve board
Reserve board. Captains only, on the buzzer, so whoever buzzes first answers first. The first correct answer wins the game and scores its face value, never doubled. If the first captain misses, the other captain gets one answer. If both miss, send it back to the buzzer on this same board.
