| - "Here's how we play, we ask three related questions, the first question always a Toss-Up worth 20 points, and first shot at the two Free Throws questions worth 10 points apiece. In case of a miss/an incorrect answer, then the opposing team gets a big clue and a chance to answer for 20 points. We conclude the game with our Bonus Biography Round, and an in-person Mystery Guest with a famous Sports Star." - Dick Enberg (explaining how Sports Challenge works in early years) "Our teams play for $1,000 worth of AMF Voit/Rawlings Sports Equipment, and Runners' Up play for $500 worth.
