Second game to host - Split Decision Update 1-13-23

[billmcdee]

With Bryan's blessing and permission, I am working on doing a pilot episode for "Split Decision".

The front game will be based on the pilot from 1985.

The end game an all cash game.

As I am returning to work tomorrow, after a long break from having to go into the office, coupled with my being sick more or less throughout my time off, I'm currently doing some private test runs of my version of an end game.

Once I feel satisfied with that, and have the according visuals made, I'll do a beta-test of the end game.

More to come...

Much appreciated Bryan!  Thank you.

So after tinkering with several possible ideas for an end game, I believe I am going to incorporate a very similar one I used on my old "Split Decision" series.

I do however plan on fashioning the main game the way the 1985 pilot did, except I intend on making it a best 2 out of 3 game match, and having slightly different toss-up questions.

I plan for my toss-up questions to be similar to the 1990 Gambit pilot.  Two possible answers will be given, then a statement will be read.

The first player to ring in must answer with "Both", "Only One" or "Neither".

A sample question:

The letter E,  the letter J

The statement:  Letters that are vowels.

The answer of course is "Only One".  Players do NOT have to identify which one, just that there is only one that fits the given statement.

If time and energy both permit, I plan on doing a beta-test for the end game either tonight or over the course of this upcoming weekend.

And Bryan, thank you for your blessing as well as your offer to utilize any of your visuals that you used when you did this game.  

Best,

Bill
