3 The Rules of Jeopardy 1. Each team gets a turn picking a category and dollar amount. 2. After seeing the clue, every team gets time to discuss and write their answer on the whiteboard. Write LARGE and NEAT! 3. Change the team writer every turn. 4. You may use any notes to help you. 5. When the bell rings, your board MUST be up to earn points. No late entries! 6. Correct answers = you get that dollar amount. No penalty for guessing (in the first round). 7. In Double Jeopardy, you LOSE the dollar amount if you guess wrong. 8. Cheating or Harassing other teams = Lose half your money. Second offense = disqualification. 9. $200 fine for interrupting OR unapproved writing on your board. 10. Everyone write their team name and number at the top of their board and underline it!
