Password '75 Question
« on: November 21, 2003, 12:11:11 AM »
Hey everyone...my first post in awhile! Good to be back.

I'm starting up a series of Password at my college. I'm going to use the 50-point Password '75 front game (best two of three matches) and the P+/SP end game to make a good half-hour show. The whole series will be a bracket tournament, single elimination, with about 10 shows. (Please, no replies on the format itself and why or why not you like it, it's what we're going with.)

I think it should be fun. We're going to use my school's amazing studio and equipment, and I'm a perfectionist with production, so the show will look good. If anyone wants a VCD of the shows, let me know and I'll keep you posted.

I have a question about the "Double" rule, though. For those who remember or can see an episode of the show that I might not have, what happens if the player chooses to "double" and his/her partner gets the word wrong? When play goes to the other side, how many points is that word worth then?

Thanks!

IIRC, if you went for a Double and missed, your opponent then got a shot for 20 points.

 Yes, one shot.  Then the word was thrown out.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.
