Description:
SCIENCE JEOPARDY

The nature of the game is to choose a category and a level of difficulty from the game board and view and listen to an answer to a question. The first team to respond with an appropriate question for the answer will be awarded the specific number of points and will choose the next topic and level. Please view Jeopardy! episodes to get a better idea of how this works.
Number of Participants: 2 team members Approximate Time:
Preliminary: 45 min.

Competition:
1) A preliminary written test on general science will take place among all the teams (2 members from each team). The 3 highest teams in that written test will be selected to participate in the final round of Science Jeopardy.
2) In Science Jeopardy, there are 5 categories of answers with values from 100 to 500. Difficulty of questions should increase with the point values.
3) A category and point value will be chosen from the game board and the answer revealed. The event supervisor will present the answer on a projector so that all the teams can see it at the same time and read the answer.
4) The first team to respond must provide the correct question. If it is not correct, the other teams then have a chance to provide the correct question.
5) After the first two rounds, Final Jeopardy will be played. In this round, there is only one question and the teams can choose how many points they wish to wager. If they answer correctly they gain the wagered points, if they answer incorrectly, they will lose the wagered points.
Scoring:
The team with the highest score wins. Ties will be broken by asking a tiebreaker set of 3 questions. The team that answers more questions correctly faster than the other team will break the tie.
