Match Game 6-6 tie question
Ian Wallis:
In the 7x version, does anyone know how many times this happened after the first round?
I was watching an episode on GSN a while back where this occurred. Instead of wiping the score and playing the scheduled round 2 questions, Gene pressed the button again and went straight to the tie-breaker questions.
My vague memory tells me this happened at least one other time where they wiped the score and played the round 2 questions as if it was a tie-breaker. Anyone else recall that one, or am I mis-remembering?
Anyone know if it happened any other time?
Otm Shank:
Vague recollection as well, but I do remember Gene breezing past the Round 2 questions and muttering something about not needing them. Don't recall them playing the R2 questions for the tiebreaker, though. As a technical matter, it goes against the rules.
I don't suspect it happened very often, given the R1 questions are designed to not have a definitive answer (and to happen twice in the same round).
Adam Nedeff:
Are you sure it was a daytime episode? I remember a PM episode where the score was 6-6 at the end of Round 2, so Gene skipped Round 3 on the machine and they did a daytime tiebreaker.

Now that you mention it, that's probably what I'm remembering.

I'd think so, too, but I remember a couple occasions when Gene had to throw out a question because a star talked too much. After asking Ira, he simply hit the button and offered a choice from the next round, despite the rounds (including the tie-breaker) varying in difficulty.
