How many scoring formats were there? I remember from the USA days , 3 or 4 easy, and those were all within one season, right?

There was the first round 1-1, second round 2-1, third round 5-1, and fourth round 10-1 format, bet up to the number of dollars/points you have(with a 100 max bet each round), which was also used in the Eric Boardman version(where they played for points as opposed to dollars). Part of that format during the Armstrong years offered a contestant double their wager if they were the only one to pick the correct celebrity in a given round. One format during the Armstrong years had one contestant playing for 2-1, one contestant playing for 5-1, one contestant playing for 10-1, and one for 20-1 odds in a given round. The odds would change for each player for the next round. A player in that format could bet whatever they wanted, even if they had more than 100 points. I suspect that latter format was the shortest-lived because it would hurt Ralph Andrews' pockets(and that's something that seemed to happen on several occasions)
