We will begin with Group one selecting a CATEGORY and POINT VALUE. –No other group is to be speaking at this time, but rather taking notes to study for the test, and thinking SILENTLY of the answer in case there is an opportunity for a steal. –If the group gets the question wrong, the question will move on to the next group for a chance to steal. Whichever group gets the steal is who the next question will be asked to.
