Jeopardy! Rules
Jeopardy! is meant for three teams or players. The first team may choose a category & point value. The moderator reads the corresponding “answer.” The player that raises his/her hand first must respond in question form (i.e.
What is California?). If the player responds incorrectly, the point value is subtracted from his/her total.
The player responds correctly, he/she accumulates the corresponding points and chooses the next category & point value.
After the moderator has presented all “answers” from each category, the player with the most points wins!
