*looks at card, audience laughs* Someone's getting a talking-to after the show. Okay, Nels, what sports do YOU like and who is YOUR favorite team? Maybe we'll find out Kevin's some other time.  (Sorry, it was late. Got confused.) |

Nice. Guess you guys hope you get Ohtani, huh? Okay, here's how The Sports Challengers is going to work. First, we're going to give you each $1,000 to have in your podiums and any money you have left at the end of the show is yours to keep in your own Citibank accounts.
The first round is a Sprint series of 10 questions worth $200 apiece. After I say each one, I want you to each put in a buzzcode from 1-100. If you don't know the answer, just message "Pass." The closest to the buzzcode number will be called on. After the Sprint, we'll be going into the category rounds and I'll explain those when we get there. Buzzers ready, here we go:
