Doctors Dilemma
Jeopardy Instructions:
All participating residency programs are invited to bring a jeopardy team composed of 3 residents (any PGY level). They must also be ACP members/associates to participate.
On your same registration link please indicate if you are participating in Doctors Dilemma. The deadline is the same as the registration deadline of Monday, March 30, 2020.
We will be following the national ACP rules, summarized here:
- Starting: Before the start of each game, the team selecting the first category will be chosen by drawing straws. Once a team selects a question by category and amount, the moderator reads the question.
- Answering: Buzzers are locked until the moderator reads the question in its entirety and the question is displayed on the screen. Once the question is read and revealed on the game board screen, any team can buzz in to answer. The team that buzzes in first is recognized by the software, and that team will be identified by the game assistant. Participants may not answer until their team is identified by the assistant. That team has 15 seconds to answer.
- Teams answering correctly retain control of the game board and select the next question. If a team answers incorrectly, the point value of that question is deducted from the score. The remaining teams are allowed to buzz in. All remaining teams have 10 seconds to answer the question. This process continues until the correct answer is given, all teams answer incorrectly, or time runs out.
- Scoring: Games consist of 5 categories with 5 questions in each category, for a total of 25 questions. Question values range from 10 to 50 points in each category. The team that answers correctly is awarded the point value of the question. The point value of questions answered incorrectly is deducted from the team's score.
- Final Dilemma: After the 25-question game board has been played, teams with positive point values are invited to play the "Final Dilemma" question, which is a wager-based question. after 35 seconds (the duration of the "Final Dilemma" music), the answer sheets are collected and given to the moderator.
