Sports Trivia Tips
Playing a Category
Here are some tips and strategies that
you can use in Sports Trivia that will help
you to play better.
➤ Scan Clues Then Match
A good strategy when playing
Sports Trivia is to scan all of the
clues first. Then match the pairs you
know are correct. Matching the
easiest pairs first helps you to match
the remaining, more difficult ones.
➤ Look Before You Leap
The field of knowledge matched with
each category is indicated by an
abbreviation (for example,

BASE

for
Baseball). To see the full title of the
field of knowledge before selecting a
category, highlight the category and
press

➤ Watching Your Score
If you have scored 2500 points already
(or you are close to scoring 2500
points), you may want to be careful
when answering more questions. One
incorrect answer might keep you out of
the Championship Round.
➤ Scoring in the Challenge Round
Here is how many points you get for
each correct and incorrect match in
each category:
•

1st Category Played

correct: +100 incorrect: -50
•

2nd Category Played

correct: +150 incorrect: -75
•

3rd Category Played

correct: +200 incorrect: -100
If you correctly match all nine pairs
of clues in nine guesses, you win
300 bonus points.
If you do not score 2500 points in the
three categories you do not go on to
the Championship Round and will re-
turn to the

Play Game Number

screen.
➤ Shared Clues
In some categories, the clues may
be shared (i.e., clues from one
column match more than one clue in
another). So these clues might not
me removed after you correctly
match them.
