Here's the rules for 'net Family Feud:
Front Game: In the front game, up to 5 rounds are played. The dollar values are single, single, single, double and triple in that order. A question is posed to 100 people and it gets answered. Up to the top 12 answers are displayed on a board like this:
| | |
|---|---|
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
Then, that question is posed to the first two people (captains) and they are to find the most popular answer. Whoever buzzes in first gets to answer. If s/he gets the #1 answer, they get control of the pot. However many people said the answer they give gets added to the pot and multiplied by ten. So, if 43 people said an answer, 430 dollars will be added to the pot. If s/he does not get the #1 answer but gets, say, the #3 answer, the other person has a chance to do better and gain control of the pot. Whoever has control of the pot gets to decide whether they would like to play or pass the question to the other team. When having control, the team's goal is to reveal all answers and win the pot. Each player gives an answer down the row. If an answer is not there, they get a strike:
Three strikes and the other team gets a chance to steal. They steal by each member but the captain gives an answer. The answers are shown to the captain and s/he selects one that he thinks that has not been revealed. If they can steal, they win what's in the bank. If not, the other team gets the bank. First team to 3000 dollars wins the game and gets to play fast money for $25,000.
Fast Money:
Fast money is played in a chatroom or on ICQ. It is played with 2 people. If the two people get 200 points or more, they win $25,000. The first player gets 45 seconds to answer 5 Family Feud questions trying to give the number 1 answers to each question. After the answers have been given and the scores have been shown, the second player gets 1 minute to give 5 different answers. If s/he gives a duplicate, a [BUZZ BUZZ] sound occurs and they will have to give a different answer. If they get 200 points, they win the $25,000 and come back for the next episode. If it is not won, the team is awarded $25 for every point.
Returning Champion Families:
Returning champions come back for 5 episodes and then get retired. And split what they have won 5 ways.
