Title: Big Showdown Rules Question
Post by: Jeremy Nelson on December 13, 2011, 06:29:44 PM

So during the game, the Payoff Point is 20.

Player A has 19 points.
Player B has 18 points.
Player C has 17 points, and is in control. As strategy suggests, (s)he picks a three point question, blocking out the other two players.

Now, i know that Player C answers the question unopposed, but how would either opponent regain control of the game? If Player C answers incorrectly, does that question then just become a toss up for control, or is there another way? I assume that Player C wouldn't be allowed to answer 3 pointers unopposed until kingdom come.

Player C deadball means that a one-point question is tossed-up for control of the board.
