There will be two “Daily Doubles.” The team uncovering a daily double will be able to wager the team’s current score on the question.
• The final round will consist of two rounds of questions. All other rounds will have only one set of questions
• There is a time limit of 15 minutes for each round, or until all questions have been used, whichever comes first. The team with the most points at the end of the round is the winner and advances to the next round.
