If the first team to answer gets it wrong, they get that score deducted from their total and then the second team that raised their hand gets a chance to answer.
JEOPARDY GROUND RULES One of the questions will read “DOUBLE JEOPARDY”. This just means that this question is worth twice what it is listed for. When all questions are complete you are ready to play “Final jeopardy”. Before you see the question each team must write down how much you want to wager.
