Say Team A is dominating all the points after the 2 singles and double round, and Team B has ZILCH.
Say Team A managed to, in the Triple Round, nails 2 of the 3 answers, and using the current format. Say the #1 answer has 80 people (240), and #2 has 10 people (30), and they don't get the #3 answer before getting the 3rd strike. So, there's 270 up there, and a chance to steal the bank, PLUS the remaining 30 for the full 300 and the win.
If this happens, then Team B can finish what Team A started. If they managed to find the answer #3 up there, they can add THAT answer's value to the bank, and take the WHOLE Bank, for the win! This means, that after conferring, if they've found the #3 answer up there, which'll have 10 people, this means that 30 is added to the 270, for the total 300 points in the bank, AND the win.

And that's the EXACT reason why they shouldn't get credit for the stolen answer. You're basically rewarding Team B with the game for getting 1 answer for the entire show! That's why they went away from the 3x Single 1x Triple, to make the games more competitive. [/quote]
Also it should be pointed out that RARELY are the entire 100 people reflected in the answers on the board, since an answer is not reprsented unless at least 2 people give that answer. So 300 points in a single question would be a longshot, indeed.
At any rate, it appears that GSG2K has one opinion, and one supporter, and the rest of the world pretty much disagrees, and it doesn't look like anyone is going to be swayed.
