Lets Play Jeopardy!

• We will split into 3 equal groups.
• Everyone will sit in a line in their chairs and
  will take turns on answering questions.
• The first person will choose the question they
  want to answer by reading the section first
  followed by the amount they want out of 100, 200,
  300 or 400.
• There will also be a chance to bet however many
  points they want of their groups overall points
  with the two random Daily Doubles.
• When a player gets a question wrong they lose
  that amount of points from their overall group
  score.
