Trivia

Selecting TRIVIA, the next-to- last item on the home menu, gives you access to a sports trivia game with more than 400 questions that you can play by yourself or with friends!

TRIVIA GAME SET UP

To play Sport Master’s Trivia Game, begin by pressing the UP and DOWN keys to step through the main menu until the arrow points to TRIVIA. Then press ON/ENTER. The screen will then display “PLAYERS 1.” Use the UP and DOWN keys to change the number of players if there are additional players. Then press ON/ENTER to confirm the num- ber of players.

Now the screen will display

“CHOICE OF QUESTION:

10.” Press the UP and DOWN keys to change the number of questions you’d like Sports Master to ask during the game.

You can choose either 10 or 20. Press ON/ENTER to confirm the number of questions you’ve selected.

Next you’ll see that the screen displays “PLAYER 1 HINT 10” or “PLAYER 1 HINT 20.” Press the UP and DOWN keys to change the number of hints you’d like Sports Master to give. (This is the total number of hints for the entire set of questions. Up to two hints can be displayed for each question until all of the hints have been used.) Using a hint elimi- nates one of the incorrect choices.

Press ON/ENTER to confirm the number of hints you’ve decid- ed on. (Continue setting the num- ber of hints for other players in the same way. You may want to allow certain players fewer or more hints to make the game more competitive. Younger play- ers and players less knowledge- able about sports may need to be given more hints, whereas a sports expert might not be allowed any hints at all.)

PLAYING THE TRIVIA GAME

After you’ve entered the num- ber of hints to be allowed for the

last player and pressed ON/ENTER to confirm that num- ber, your screen will display “QUESTION 1 PLAYER 1.” Now hand your Sports Master to Player 1. Player 1 presses the ON/ENTER key to display his first question.

To answer a question

After the first question is dis- played, the player then presses the DOWN key to view the entire question and its choice of answers. (The UP key can be used to scroll up to review the question if necessary.) If the play- er thinks he knows the answer, he then presses ON/ENTER. The options A, B, C and D will next be displayed. The UP and DOWN keys are used to step through these options until the desired letter-answer is reached. Pressing ON/ENTER confirms the choice of answer.

If the answer is correct, the screen first displays “COR- RECT!” and then shows the play- er number and his score. If the answer is incorrect, the screen first displays “WRONG!” and then the remaining options. In that case, the player can press the BACK key to display the question

and answers again, and then press ON/ENTER again to display the remaining options. The player uses the UP and DOWN keys to step through the options, stopping at the answer he thinks is correct and pressing ON/ENTER to con- firm.

If the second attempt to answer a question is also incorrect, the screen will first display “WRONG!” followed by the remaining options. Press the BACK key to display the question again if you need to see it, and then press ON/ENTER to display the remaining options. Use the UP and DOWN keys to step through these answer choices. Then press ON/ENTER to con- firm your answer.

If the third attempt to answer a question is still incorrect, Sports Master’s screen displays “WRONG!” followed by the cor- rect answer.

To pass, get a hint or check your score
