Who Played When?
Whenever we make calls for participants, we always ask if you've been in one epsiode to please wait three episodes before trying to return to the NMG-HSH virtual stage. If you appeared in Game 1, you'll have to sit on your hands through Games 2, 3 and 4 before trying to get in Game 5 at the earliest. This does not apply to regulars, semi-regulars, contestants in audience games (cyber-phone match, for example) and cattle calls with low turnout. And now, our guest list from episodes' past... Game 1 Stars (not including regulars and semi-regulars) DAVID FRYE, III DANA EPSTEIN JOE KRISTOFF JIMMY LOKAY CHARLIE PEVEY DEAN SCUNGIO Note: Chico Alexander and Dana Epstein were among the celebs, too. However, they weren't officially among the rotating semi-regulars until after this episode was completed. Game 1 Players DAVE ADAMS JAMES LEROUX EDDIE TIMANUS Game 2 Stars (not including regulars and semi-regulars) RANDY AMASIA TRAVIS EBERLE DAVID HAMMOND MATT MARCOTTE KELLY SANNER NOIEL SPEARMAN Game 2 Players BARRY BROOKS KYLE HANNA EDDIE TIMANUS Game 3 Stars (not including regulars and semi-regulars) KEITH BUTKOVICH MATT CICERO BRIAN "THE BRAIN" HENEGAR ROBERT ROSKO MARK SINSABAUGH DON SMITH Game 3 Players JOHN MENJES BRIAN MOORE EDDIE TIMANUS Game 4 Stars (not including regulars and semi-regulars) ZACHARY COVERSTONE JERRY DEPEW KEVIN HEMANN TOM HORNIKEL & FRANK MYSTIC GIRL SCOTT ROBINSON Game 4 Players PHIL LEVINE JOHN MENJES REI NAKAZAWA Game 5 Stars (not including regulars and semi-regulars) ROBB BAUM CHRIS CLARK PAUL CRABBE ANDY GELLER JOE KAVANAGH DUSTIN "THE NEW BRAIN" RILEY Game 5 Players PHIL LEVINE TIM McCLELLAND SHAWN WELLS Game 6 Stars (not including regulars and semi-regulars) JOHN FENNER DEAN SCUNGIO SETH THRASHER GREG WICKER Game 6 Players DANE BENINGER PHIL LEVINE DAMIEN MINOR Game 7 Stars (not including regulars and semi-regulars) MIKE KLAUSS MATT MARCOTTE CHARLIE PEVEY MARK SINSABAUGH Game 7 Players RICK BROWN AMY JACKSON PHIL LEVINE Note: Game 8 was our first champions' special.

LOLLIE MYSTIC GIRL CHARLIE PEVEY CHRIS WOLVIE Game 8/Champions' Special Players GREG DIENER PHIL LEVINE EDDIE TIMANUS Game 9 Stars (not including regulars and semi-regulars) JERRY DEPEW TRAVIS EBERLE WILL MORRIS ROBERT ROSKO Game 9 Players MARC ENYEDY ANDY SILIKOVITZ ARLENE SILIKOVITZ (Note: Game 10 was our second chance episode. Phil and Andy came into HS with undefeated records. The other players joined Jay and Ryan for a '60s throwback MG. Since we had no "normal" MG in this episode, the folks you see listed under "Game 9 Stars" stayed for HS in Game 10.) Game 10 Players PHIL LEVINE ANDY SILIKOVITZ TIM McCLELLAND BRIAN MOORE ARLENE SILIKOVITZ DANE STARR Game 11 Stars MATT MARCOTTE DEAN SCUNGIO MARK SINSABAUGH SETH THRASHER Game 11 Players ANDY GELLER DAVID PALOMARES ANDY SILIKOVITZ (Note: In Game 11, Andy Silikovitz ended up making three trips to the super match. Due to current tournament qualification rules, Andy Silikovitz retires undefeated and must wait until the champions' special to compete again. He's allowed to play in a cyber-phone match between now and then; but any cyber-cash won in audience games will not count toward his tournament seeding. Andy Geller advanced to HS to play against Andy Silikovitz. However, due to a discrepancy with a question Andy Geller played, Andy Geller got to play a Super Match and the X's in HS in Game 12; since he won Game 12's HS, he got to play another Super Match.) Game 12 Stars GEORGE DAVIDSON STEVE MICHAELS JOE KRISTOFF JOE VAN GINKEL Game 12 Players ANDY GELLER ROBERT McBRIDE ZACK CASPER Game 13 Stars BRIAN SAPINSKI WILL SCHMARDER ALAN TIMPER TAMMY WARNER Game 13 Players JAY "JX" CROSS ANDY GELLER ORONDE JARRATTA Game 14 Stars DAVID HAMMOND TOM KRUEGER BRIAN MOORE NOLAN SLOVER Game 14 Players JAY "JX" CROSS JOHN MENJES RICK MORRIS Game 15 Stars TROY DIGGS NICK MOONEYHAN JOSH ROYAL MARK SINSABAUGH Game 15 Players MICHAEL CLIFFORD JOE KRISTOFF Note: Jay "JX" Cross was scheduled to defend his championship in HS in Game 15. However, he was not available when HS started. Even though Joe won MG, we made the executive decision to let Michael and Joe go on to play HS. Michael won that HS match-up and will play against Jay in Game 16's HS. Game 16 Stars TOM HORNIKEL & FRANK STEVE MICHAELS DEAN SCUNGIO JOHN VENTURINI Game 16 Players MICHAEL CLIFFORD JAY "JX" CROSS Note: MG segment adopted "CBS '70s rules" with the high scorer after the second round playing a special bonus game in lieu of advancing to the HS segment (reasoning's per note on Game 15 above). We'll not list the MG civilian players here -- but they may try to qualify for another episode of NMG-HSH the next time qualifying takes place. Game 17 Stars BARRY BROOKS NANCY BROOKS MARTIN GARDNER ROBERT McBRIDE Game 17 Players MICHAEL CLIFFORD GUS POLLY KOURTNEY WILSON Note: Game 18 was our second champions' special.

To qualify for the champions' special, a player must reach the super match three straight times or win at least CY$100,000 during his/her reign as champ. If the former, the player will have to retire undefeated. The player who wins the most cyber-cash among tournament qualifiers earns top seed honors throughout the champions' special -- and plays the X's in the Hollywood Squares final. The 2nd and 3rd seeds play the semi-final Match Game with the 2nd seed selecting first in the first round; the winner of the semi-final plays the O's in HS.
