Differences in Game Play
Unlike the original All-Star Special format, where the winners of the two rounds played one question to determine which team makes Fast Money, there were three full matches played in the one-hour format.
In order to fit three games (two semifinals with one final match to determine which team makes Fast Money), all games followed a format that was a modified version of the 1999-2003 format, with just three rounds (two single rounds, and a triple round with the usual three-strike rule). A family must make 300 points to win the game, and as is the case with the rules from 1979 to 1984 and 1988 to 1995 and yet again since 2003, if neither family reached 300 points after the triple round, a sudden death round was played. The next members of each family would participate in a face-off where only the top answer counts. If neither player family reached 300 after the first sudden death, subsequent sudden death rounds would be played until a winner is determined.
In 2009, when the civilian show revived the Bullseye round, a similar three-round format (a single, a double, and a triple round) was played. Again, the sudden death rule applies.
In Fast Money, if one or both family members accumulated a total of 200 points or more, the family won $50,000 for their charity. If the family did not reach 200 points, $25,000 was still awarded to their charity.

Famous quotes containing the words differences, game and/or play:
“What strikes many twin researchers now is not how much identical twins are alike, but rather how different they are, given the same genetic makeup....Multiples don’t walk around in lockstep, talking in unison, thinking identical thoughts. The bond for normal twins, whether they are identical or fraternal, is based on how they, as individuals who are keenly aware of the differences between them, learn to relate to one another.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“Life is a game in which the rules are constantly changing; nothing spoils a game more than those who take it seriously. Adultery? Phooey! You should never subjugate yourself to another nor seek the subjugation of someone else to yourself. If you follow that Crispian principle you will be able to say “Phooey,” too, instead of reaching for your gun when you fancy yourself betrayed.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
“My way is to conjure you, and I’ll begin with the women. I
charge you, O women, for the love you bear to men, to like
as much of this play as please you.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
