To answer a question
After the first question is dis-
played, the player then presses the
DOWN key to view the entire
question and its choice of
answers. (The
UP key can be
used to scroll up to review the
question if necessary.) If the play-
er thinks he knows the answer, he
then presses ON/
ENTER . The
options A , B , C and D will next
be displayed. The UP and
DOWN keys are used to step
through these options until the
desired letter-answer is reached.
Pressing ON/
ENTER confirms
the choice of answer.
If the answer is correct, the
screen first displays “ COR-
RECT! ” and then shows the play-
er number and his score. If the
answer is incorrect, the screen
first displays “
WRONG! ” and
then the remaining options. In
that case, the player can press the
BACK key to display the question
and answers again, and then press
ON/
ENTER again to display the
remaining options. The player
uses the
UP and DOWN keys to
step through the options, stopping
at the answer he thinks is correct
and pressing ON/
ENTER to con-
firm.
If the second attempt to answer
a question is also incorrect, the
screen will first display
“
WRONG! ” followed by the
remaining options. Press the
BACK key to display the question
again if you need to see it, and
then press ON/
ENTER to display
the remaining options. Use the
UP and DOWN keys to step
through these answer choices.
Then press ON/
ENTER to con-
firm your answer.
If the third attempt to answer a
question is still incorrect, Sports
Master’s screen displays
“
WRONG! ” followed by the cor-
rect answer.
To pass, get a hint or
check your score
When a player doesn't know
the answer to a question or is
unsure, he can press the
NEXT
key and use the UP and DOWN
keys to step through the menu
seating capacity. Selecting
“
FINDER ” gives you all the con-
tact info for that sport and its sta-
diums by team—where to call or
go online to buy tickets, for
example, and the street address.
Trivia
Selecting TRIVIA , the next-to-

is the total number of hints for the
entire set of questions. Up to two
hints can be displayed for each

nates one of the incorrect choices.
Press ON/ ENTER to confirm
the number of hints you’ve decid-
ed on. (Continue setting the num-
ber of hints for other players in
the same way. You may want to
allow certain players fewer or
more hints to make the game
more competitive. Younger play-
ers and players less knowledge-
able about sports may need to be
given more hints, whereas a
sports expert might not be
allowed any hints at all.)
