JayC:
If the family does not win the $20,000, and recieves $5 a point, are they talking about ponts accumulated in Fast Money AND the front game, or just in Fast Money?

 The current version of Feud does not award maingame points as dollars to the family as the 1976-85 and 1988-92 versions did(1992-95 Combs/Dawson also did not award money for maingame points). Families who don't win Fast Money get $5 for every point earned in Fast Money, and this rule applied to all versions.

You'd figure after all this time it would have gone up to $10 a point by now, what with inflation and all.  Since the main prize is now $20,000 (four times what it once was, and twice what it was earlier in this version) it's surprising the "consolation" prize hasn't gone up as well.

Yes, we know how much you hate Mo' Money Syndrome, Chris, but this isn't that bad of a suggestion.  I don't like Mo' Money Syndrome, either, but this does make a reasonable amount of sense.  I mean, $5 a point has been the norm since the seventies.  Raising it to $10 means a family still can't end up with more than $1,990, compared to $20,000 for getting just one more point; and since it's divided among 5 people, they can each get a whole $398.  Especially when they aren't getting anything for winning the front game, this isn't unreasonable in the least.
