-Each round contains 30 questions, grouped into six categories with point values from 20 to 100, like on the game show.  The point values ostensibly reflect difficulty.  A coin toss determines the first team to select a clue.  The team selecting a clue gets 30 seconds to confer and give an answer.  If right, the team scores the points.  If not, the other team gets 10 seconds to give an answer and score the points on the rebound.  Then, control alternates to the other team, and play continues until the board is cleared.  The team with the higher score gets a bonus for winning the game.
