H2 Changes, for its last season

[quote name=\'Jimmy Owen\' date=\'Aug 24 2003, 09:50 PM\']That policy differs from that of BTB'76, on which, IIRC, the disclaimer stated \"The celebrities have been furnished with the questions and answers.\"  Well, at least Jack came clean.[/quote]
Considering the format of BTB '76, not providing the answers would be a nightmare. Remember, if one of the two celebrities doesn't give the right answer, they have to throw out the question and start over.

(Of course, it still happened! Not the brightest bunch of stars on that show . . . )

On BTB, they could've offered the option to reject both answers (without necessarily asking the contestant to answer it as on HSq.)

Another point with the new Squares format: WIll the formats for the tournament weeks(College, TofC, etc., assuming they still have those) be changed as well to fit the new two-out-of-three format?

No, any \"stand-alone\" week, that is, with two different contestants per day, with no returning champions, are based on last year's format, where we play to time, and the show ends with a bonus game.  That will be seen in the season premiere week September 8th.  The 2 out of 3 format starts the 2nd week.
