Plans for syndie DoND

My solution : Take the values from the UK version, using dollars for pounds.

22 Cases, but here's the rub : do the UK version format, with opening 5 up first, then 3 every round....

Make the contestants sweat over their hardly earned money.

Tell me if this is too top heavy, it's with 18 cases:

(lots of snippage)

-250,000

Something seems off, but I can't pinpoint it. [/quote]

Well, for one thing, you have negative numbers all over the place.  What, if I pick the biggest case, I have to give the producers $250K?  ;)

EDIT--Whoops--Modor got there first.

A half hour is plenty of time to finish a game if you leave the capering on the cutting room floor.

Sadly, though, the capering is part of the fun for the viewers who aren't us.

Are they renaming the show Debt or No Debt?

Let's see...that's a gold star for Mark, then silver for Clay and msittel. :-)

You'd know what I'd like to see? (Or hear)....I'd love to have a snarky Banker voice (not seen, but heard) on the syndie DoND taunting the player and announcing the offers himself...that way it could stand out from the other versions.

As for case values, let's assume a 20-case board (you could do a 5-4-3-3-2-1 format)

$1
$5
$10
$25
$50
$75
$100
$250
$500
$750

$1000
$2000
$3000
$5000
$10,000
$20,000
CAR (they do it on other versions, why not here?)
$50,000
$100,000
$250,000

(you could also do the Chance, Double or Nothing, and Supercases like in Australia....heck, you could even do audience participation and do case amount guesses too. For a half-hour syndicated version, I would think it would be better to go with a different version than just do a stripped-down US clone)

$1,000.00
$1,250.00
$2,500.00

Read again. There will not be 26 cases.
