Another Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour is on the horizon. Before we commence, some notes... \ Evan Hatfield returns as champion after racking up CY$143,000 in two wins. He'll play the X's in Hollywood Squares. Regardless of the outcome, this is his last game as champ before the Champions' Special. \ This is Game 49. So if you played as a civilian in Game 46, 47 or 48, please sit on your hands and let someone else play. Can't remember when you played? Just go to www.nmghsh.cjb.net or www.dougmorris.net/nmghsh and click on "Archives". \ Joining the usual suspects are Press Your Fortune's Shawn Wells and, from PriceCast, Troy Diggs, Matt Welshans and Andres Almeida. ...now it's qualifying time. The two players closest to the right answer, high or low, compete in Match Game with the winner advancing to Hollywood Squares. Here's the question -- and it's a bit of a long one. During Doug Morris' recent travels, he helped Greg "Greggo" Wicker with the anime-themed game shows he hosted at the fifth annual San Japan convention in San Antonio, Texas. One of those games was Anime Press Your Luck. After the main game, we played two audience games -- with three players spotted five spins each. After taking a spin, a player had the option of spinning again or stopping (as opposed to passing remaining spins to the leading opponent). When the first audience game ended, the winning player finished with what score? Please respond to the nearest yen. [As a help, http://www.youtube.com/user/gregdasgo has other games of Anime Press Your Luck played at other conventions. Video from the aforementioned audience games likely will not see the light of day and are not on his page as of this writing.] (time passes) And that's time. First, here's the right answer.
(ding) We should note the winning player was only *credited* with ¥6400. The winning player managed to receive just the one prize worth less than ¥6400. With that clarified, who's the closest? David Barkow ¥5,750 David with 5750. You'll go first. Playing against you will be... Matt Taylor ¥4,300 ...Matt Taylor. Thanks all for playing.====================================================================== Glenn Bowman: "Polka Star Squares" (audience laughs) will not be seen at this time -- so that we may bring you our game of Squares -- eventually. ======================================================================

Doug MorrisDoug: Thanks, Glenn Bowman. Helloooooooo, everybody and welcome back to the Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour. Hello, stars.
Panel: (basically in unison) Hello, Ryan and Doug. Ryan: And hello to you at home. Evan Hatfield's reign of terror ends tonight. He's taken us for CY$143,000. After this show, he will be in the clubhouse awaiting two other contenders in our champions' special. Doug: Before that, we start with Match Game. Joining you and Chad are Shawn and the stars of PriceCast -- Troy, Matt and their new co-host, Andres. So -- let the games begin! (audience cheers) (Ryan and Doug shake hands) (Ryan sits in the Morris chair on the panel) (Doug walks over to the Match Game desks)
Doug: Keep up the energy for our challengers, David Barkow and Matt Taylor. (more cheers) Doug: We'll chat later. But let's start Match Game. As you know, the objective here to match as many...
Doug: ...of these yodeling mountain climbers as you possibly can. (audience laughs) Doug: Each time you match a star, you don't get a Plinko chip but you do earn CY$100. If you max out and match everyone, we'll elevate your score to CY$1000. High scorer after three rounds advances to Hollywood Squares to face Evan. The high scorer there plays the Super Match -- which could lead to a payoff of CY$100,000.MG ROUND 1 BEGINS
