This event is open to all con goers except staff members. If you are interested in participating, you can submit your names into a box that will be located at the Hallway Costume Contest Table. The Costume Contest table is located in the central walkway. Atendees can only submit their name once.

We will be accepting names on Friday and Saturday from ( when the Hallway Costume Contest table opens until it closes- times tba ). The final drawing of names will comence on Sunday (time tba ). The contestants must be present in the room when the names are called. If there is no response within a few seconds, we will continue on to the next name.

How the game works-

Once we have chosen 5 contestants, each will be given a dry erase board and pen. We will then bring out an item. Each contestant will then be able to guess the retail price of the item, pre-tax, and write it on their board. After all 5 contestants have submitted their guess, the one closest without going over while be one of the finalists. If everyone goes over, the host will say so and everyone will guess again.

This process will continue until we get our 3 finalists. Our finalist will now participate in a "Jeparody" style show. At this point the contestants will be given a paddle with a number on it. The screen will display 6 categories each with 5 different point values ranging from 100 - 500. The host will pick the first question. When a finalist know an answer, they will raise their paddle. The host will call on them and the finalist will then say the answer out loud. If the answer is correct, that finalist will earn the points for that question and choose the next question. If no one knows the answer, the host will continue to pick the questions.

There is no penalty for wrong answers. You will have 10 sec. to answer the question.

The game will continue on in this form until time run short. When there is about 5 minutes left, the host will stop the show and ask the final question. Before the question is asked, each contestant will now be given their scores by our score keeper. For the final question, the finalists will wager their points from 0 to their own total amount earned. These wagers will be added or subtracted depending on if their answer is correct or wrong.

The finalists will then write their wagers on the dry erase board. When the host asks the final question, the finalists will write their answer on their dry erase board. You have 1 minute to answer the final question. After time has run out, 1 by 1 , the finalists will show their answer and their wager. When points are totaled up, the one with the most points will be our winner. In the event of a tie, the host will ask a tie-breaker question until someone gets the correct answer.
