Crazy Challenge Connection - Let's Play Jeopardy! - Finished

 Let's Play Jeopardy! hosted by Crazy Challenge Connection on Goodreads.

I have now completed this challenge with a few months to spare and it was quite fun. I am really enjoying taking part in challenges on Goodreads.

LET'S PLAY JEOPARDY!
Timeframe: 8/1/14 to 3/1/15

As with the TV game, we will divide our challenge into Jeopardy, Double Jeopardy, and Final Jeopardy, with tasks to complete for each section. Each portion of the game has a specific set of task options. When you have completed the game, you will have read 22 books. You can play the game as many times as you wish.

You must roll all categories for the game before beginning the challenge!

JEOPARDY ROUND (Categories)

* For the Jeopardy round, set the random # here from 1-25 and choose 6 numbers. Match those #'s to the proper category in the Jeopardy section, and those are your 1st 6 topics. Read a book for 1 of the options in each topic.

* The Jeopardy round contains one Daily Double. To complete the DD, you must read 1 extra book in any of the topics you chose, using one of the other task options for that category.

DOUBLE JEOPARDY (categories)

* For Double Jeopardy, set the random # again here from 1-25 and choose 6 more numbers, this time from the Double Jeopardy section. Now you must read 2 books per category/task. Each of the two books must be from a different task option within the category. These 12 books must be finished before moving on to Final Jeopardy.
