Remember those great games of sandlot
baseball, fl ag football, and schoolyard basketball?
Well Sports Trivia: Professional Edition starts off
the same way they did, by choosing Captains. It
doesn’t matter how you do this, just as long as
you end up with 1 player who’ll be in charge of Team Red and one
who’ll take the helm of Team Blue. After you’ve picked the Captains,
give them their team’s handset and press any button to continue.

Okay, now that you know who the Captains will
be, it’s time to determine which players will be
on each team. The youngest Captain picks one
player for his team, then the oldest Captain
picks a player for his team. This continues until
everyone has been claimed by one team or the other. Don’t worry if
one team has an extra player, it won’t make much of a difference
during the game. When you’re done choosing the teams, press any
button to continue.

Before the game begins, a coin is tossed to
determine which team calls the fi rst play.
Depending on whether the coin lands as head or
tails, the game will tell you which team begins
play.

After the Coin Toss, the game continues with the
Play Screen. Here you will see each team’s total
score, a stopwatch showing the current game
turn, and a menu displaying the plays each
manager can call.
The Stopwatch
The majority of the Play Screen is taken up by a stopwatch that acts
as a counter to let you know where you are in the game. Each game
comprises 16 turns, 8 each by the two teams. On each turn, you’ll have
the chance to score points (either by answering one or more trivia
questions or testing your refl exes in an arcade-style Action Round).
Calling a Play
When it’s your turn, you have 30 seconds to Call Your Play. The time
remaining to you is presented as a countdown in the upper right corner.
If you don’t make a choice within 30 seconds, you will be penalized for
Delay of Game and the opposing team will call your play for you!
The choices available to you are:
