Hi. This is my Wikipedia page. I don't know what else to put here for now. I suppose I should look at other people's pages and see what they have.
Here is what my original passion was when I created a wikipedia account:
Round Two edit
As said above, there are different games used for round two in each episode. "The Schwab" does not compete against the contestants in this round. Some of the games are as follows:
- "Lineup Card," where a team that won a championship in a certain year has its starting lineup displayed on a screen (e.g. the 1997 Arizona Wildcats, who won the men's NCAA basketball national championship over the Kentucky Wildcats that year). Not all members of the starting lineup are on-screen, so each contestant must fill in the other players not listed. Usually, three lists are given to each contestant; the first list has three spaces to be filled in within 15 seconds; the second, four spaces in 20 seconds; and the third, 5 spaces in 25 seconds. Contestants take turns trying to fill in players, and a contestant may "steal" any missing answers that the other was not able to give. One point is given for each correct player named or stolen.
- "Who Am I?" where "The Schwab" alternates asking each contestant a question about an athlete or a coach. Questions range from 7 points to one point, with a 7-point question being the hardest, and a one-point question the easiest. The Schwab asks the first contestant the 7-point question, and then questions decrease in point value one-by-one. If a player does not wish to answer the question, he or she may pass. If a contestant gets a wrong answer, then they're eliminated for the remainder of the topic.
- "Name That" is similar to "Who Am I?", but contestants bid for the right to answer a question in the fewest amount of clues (similar to the Bid-a-Note round on Name That Tune), with a lower amount of clues being worth more points along the same scheme as "Who Am I?".
- "Lights, Camera, Schwab" asks questions about sports movies. There are four categories of questions, with each category containing a 1, 2, and 3 point question. Only 1-point questions are available at first, and higher value questions for each category cannot be heard until the lower value questions have been asked. Contestants must buzz in to answer the question. Whichever contestant has correctly answered a question last can choose the category for the next question.
- "Schwab's Family Album" where contestants must buzz in and identify the famous sports figure in a photograph even though the person's face is obscured with that of "The Schwab". Each correct answer is worth 1 point.
- "Alma Matters," in which the contestants identify where current and former players on a specific team went to college. Generally speaking, each player gets two lists of eight players and 30 seconds to fill each one in, and missing answers may be stolen by the other contestant.
- "Odd Man Out" presents 4 similar athletes on the board (for example, NFL wide receivers Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Steve Smith, and Marvin Harrison). Three of them have something in common, and a question is asked where the contestant has to determine who does not fit into the criteria of the question (ie, who is the odd man out, such as "Three of these wide receivers have scored more than 10 touchdowns in a season. Who has not?" for the above four players). After the first athlete is eliminated, there will be another question about the three remaining, and so on until only one athlete is left on the board. A question about the remaining player is then asked. One point is awarded for each odd man out identified (for a total of 4 possible points per turn).
- "Coaching Ladder" has contestants trying to buzz in to correctly identify coaches and managers based on the clue given. The game featured a graphical "coaching ladder" the contestants climb, indicating how many points they have earned. There are three rounds. In the first two rounds, each correct response is worth 1 point. In the third round, each correct response is worth 2 points, but an incorrect response will cost a point.
- "Dodge the Schwab" features twelve categories, each about a famous sports figure. Contestants alternate choosing categories to answer. Most categories have questions that are deemed of average difficulty, but some contain hidden "diabolical" Schwab questions that are much more difficult, having been devised by the Schwab himself. If a contestant gets a Schwab question, they may choose to "dodge" it and pass it to the opponent before hearing the question, rather than answer it themselves. Regular questions are worth one point, while Schwab questions are worth 2 points. However, if a contestant gets a Schwab question wrong, they lose a point.
- "Journey Men," where contestants are given an athlete and a list of teams he has played for. The contestant has to put the teams in chronological order (ie, for Darryl Strawberry, a contestant will be given Giants, Dodgers, Yankees, and Mets. The correct answer would be "Mets, Dodgers, Giants, Yankees."). Each contestant is given a total of 3 lists, alternating back and forth. They are given 15 seconds for each of the first two lists, and 20 seconds for the third list. Contestants are provided a paper and pen to assist themselves. A point is awarded for each team correctly put in each spot.
- "Stop the Presses," in which a contestant is given a paragraph of copy that contains one factual error. One point is awarded for identifying the error, and another point for correcting the error. However, if either part of a contestant's answer is wrong, the opponent may attempt to steal points by giving the correct answer. An example of a paragraph given is "In January 2005, in the Seattle Seahawks' regular-season finale against the Patriots, Shaun Alexander watched from the sideline as time ran out, and he fell one yard short of Curtis Martin for the NFL rushing title." In this case, the incorrect part is the team "Patriots", which should be the Falcons. Usually 3 paragraphs in total are given.
Whichever contestant has scored the most points at the end of Round Two goes on to face The Schwab in the Schwab Showdown.
