Directions  Choose the point value question of your choice but remember… the higher the points - the harder the question.  If you answer correctly, you can select another question.  If you answer incorrectly, you lose the points and your turn. The question becomes open to the other teams and the first team to ring in with the correct answer earns the points and control of the board.  At any time, your team can choose a Daily Double question and decide how many points you want to wage before viewing the question. If you answer incorrectly, you lose your waged points and the other teams can ring in and earn the points instead.  The team with the highest points is the winner. This should be as easy as pie! X
