Enter in the categories on the main game boards.
As you play the game, click on the TEXT DOLLAR AMOUNT that the contestant calls, not the surrounding box.
When they have given a question, click again anywhere on the screen to see the correct question. Keep track of which questions have already been picked by printing out the game board screen and checking off as you go.
Click on the “Game” box to return to the main scoreboard.
Enter the score into the black box on each players podium.
