5x5
5x5 is the game that will be played for competition training
at the 2nd Game Show Boot Camp.
at the 2nd Game Show Boot Camp.
Rules:
Main Game: Each of the 5 players start with 5000 points.
A game board with 5 categories, each with 5 questions is presented. Questions are valued from 1000 to 4000 points, and the bottom clue of each category labeled a Double Up. The Double Up is an opportunity for a player to risk any or all of their score on a single question.
When selecting a category, the lowest-valued clue available will be played. A player can buzz-in after the question has been read in its entirety. A correct answer adds the value to their total, and a wrong answer will deduct the value -- however, a score can't go below zero. The player who gave the last correct answer gets to choose the next category played.

The player who gave the last correct answer gets to choose the next category played.
Once the first four questions in a category have been played, the Double Up question is available to be selected. Each player can play a Double Up question just once per game. A Double Up question can only be selected by a player who hasn't used their Double Up, unless no other clues are available. When this occurs, the question is a tossup worth 5000 points.
On a Double Up clue, a player is risking their entire score. When a player selects their Double Up only they have the first opportunity to signal and give an answer. A correct answer earns the wager. If wrong answer is given, the player drops to zero, and the other players can buzz-in to earn or lose 5000 points. If the player does not choose to buzz and answer the question within five seconds, their score remains unchanged, and the other players are again given the opportunity to buzz in.
If a player has less than 5 points at the end of this round, the player's score will change to 500 points.
5 By Final: A question will be presented with at least five correct answers. Players will have one minute to write down as many as 5 answers on a white board. If more than 5 answers are written, only the first 5 answers that are not otherwise crossed out will be considered. On a second white board, the players will then be given 10 seconds to write down a bid (from 0 to 5) of how
many correct answers they believe they have written.
If a player's bid is equal to or less than the number of correct answers written, that player's score will be affected as follows:
If a player's bid is greater than the number of correct answers they have written, that player's score will be cut in half.
The player with the highest score at the end of this round is declared the winner.
Game Show Boot Camp Tournament:
