every team the opportunity to win 10 points at the end, and to maybe
snatch the top prize at the death. Each team has only one
opportunity to hand an answer in, getting the relevant number of
points for a correct answer, but zero points for an incorrect answer.
Each team should only get one go, with the correct answer not
announced until every team has handed their sheet in.

Note to
quizmaster – A Jackpot round at the end of the quiz is
usually a great way to keep people coming back week after week. You
should usually charge per individual entry with a special prize for
the winner. You can split the prize for more than one winner, you
can award the prize to the nearest answer (if the question is looking
for a year or number), or you can allow a rollover into the following
week if nobody is correct.
