<strong>English</strong> <strong>Grammar</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Malaysian</strong> <strong>Primary</strong> <strong>Schools</strong>APPENDIX:Notes from Wikipedia about JeopardyGameplayThree contestants compete <strong>in</strong> three rounds: the Jeopardy! Round, the Double Jeopardy! Round, andthe F<strong>in</strong>al Jeopardy! Round. If there is a return<strong>in</strong>g champion, he or she occupies the leftmost lecternfrom the viewer's perspective.Jeopardy! RoundSix categories are announced, each with a column of five trivia clues (phrased <strong>in</strong> answer form), eachone <strong>in</strong>crementally valued more than the previous, ostensibly by difficulty.The contestant at the leftmost lectern from the viewer's perspective—a return<strong>in</strong>g champion, if thereis one—selects the first clue from any position on the game board, and the selected clue is revealed.The host then reads the clue, after which any of the three contestants may r<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> us<strong>in</strong>g a hand-heldsignall<strong>in</strong>g device. The first contestant to r<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> successfully, follow<strong>in</strong>g the host's read<strong>in</strong>g of the clue,must then respond <strong>in</strong> the form of a question.A correct response adds the dollar value of the clue to the contestant's score, and gives him or herthe opportunity to select the next clue from the board. An <strong>in</strong>correct response or a failure to respondwith<strong>in</strong> a five-second time limit (shown by the red lights on the contestant's lectern) deducts thedollar value of the clue from the contestant's score and gives any rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g opponent(s) theopportunity to r<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> and respond. If none of the contestants give a correct response, the host readsthe correct response and the contestant who selected the previous clue chooses the next clue.Daily DoublesOne clue hidden on the Jeopardy! Round game board is designated a "Daily Double". Only thecontestant who selects a Daily Double may respond to its clue, and make a wager no smaller than $5on it. If the contestant has a score of less than the highest dollar value <strong>in</strong> the round, he or she maywager up to that top value; alternatively, the contestant may choose to "make it a true DailyDouble" and wager all of his or her score.R<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g InContestants must wait until the host f<strong>in</strong>ishes read<strong>in</strong>g the clue before r<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>.
