I need two players to go against MATT in another fun-filled and ultra-groovy edition of THE BIG SHOWDOWN.
Anyone interested?

I'd love to try this as I haven't before. Just bear with me if I am slow as it's been a hectic week this past week, and am anticipating another hectic week as our son moves into his college dorm for his Freshman year one week from tomorrow.

Bill, I would be honored to have you as a contestant and I do understand your situation. There's no hurry.

(Thank you John for the PM. Just a quick reminder that today, Saturday, August 26th is moving day for my son to college. I may be on later this evening but if not, certainly by tomorrow. Thank you for your patience everybody. Will do my bio when I return to the boards.)

(sorry for the oversight)
I am 50 years old, live near Washington Crossing PA with my wife of 26 years. Our 18 year old son just today began his college career.
I'm employed as a data entry specialist for a pharmaceutical research firm.
In my spare time I enjoy watching vintage television sitcoms and game shows, spending time with my grand nieces, and watching historical documentaries and writing.

It's an adjustment, but he will be home most weekends and at holiday time too. He's less than an hour away from home so that's a comfort, and it's a terrific campus.

Hello and welcome back. Now that we met our contestants, here's how we play THE BIG SHOWDOWN.
The object is to answer questions in order to reach a specific payoff point which we'll reveal before the round begins. We'll show our contestants six catergories worth 1 to 6 points and, just a reminder, those points don't determine the diffuculty of the categories.
Each question is a toss-up and the one who buzzes in first (gets closest to buzzcode of 1 to 100) and gets it right will win those points. Now, stragedy is key here because YOU CANNOT GO OVER THE PAYOFF POINT, which means that if one of your opponents picks a category with a point score that, if you were to buzz-in and get it right would put you over the payoff point, then YOU CANNOT ANSWER THE QUESTION.
The contestant who's the first to get the payoff point wins a cash prize anywhere from $100 to $500. We'll play three rounds and then a 10 question sprint round and, after that, the two players with the highest scores will go on to the FINAL SHOWDOWN and the winner of that will go on to our GOLDEN DICE bonus game for a chance at $25,000.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, here's a special bonus for our players. If any one of them wins two payoffs points in a row, then, win or lose the entire game, they'll win a great prize.
Can you tell them, TOM?
Yes, it's A TRIP TO TOKYO worth $4,000.
A fantastic prize indeed.........Also, if anyone of our contestants win three payoffs points in a row, it's the prize and a $2,500 cash bonus.
Any questions?
