5) What is the difference between CB and Jeopardy!? (College Bowl)
First, the obvious: Jeopardy! is a game show that appears on TV, and CB is
a quiz game that is no longer on TV.
OK, now we'll get serious. Jeopardy! is an individual game, CB is a team
game. Also, in J! the difficulty of the "answers" supposedly increases
with the dollar amounts, while in CB the difficulty of the questions
supposedly remains level throughout the match. In addition, the CB
questions are generally harder than J! questions: the average CB tossup
read in its entirety would rate at or above the $600 level on J!. Another

Trebeck finishes reading to buzz in, while in CB you can buzz in at any
time while or after the question is read.
