In the current Anderson/Karn version of FF, only one tournament of champions has been held -- "The Family Feud/Family Circle Magazine Tournament of Champions" -- or something like that. This tourney was held either in Louie Anderson's final season as host -- or next to last.
The format was nearly identical to the tournaments on the Ray Combs/CBS version -- except more than four families were involved and *every dollar* accumulated in fast money was added in the jackpot ($20,000 if 200 or more was scored, "five dollars a point" if 199 or less; don't remember how much the pot was seeded with...any ideas?)
Until the finals, every game in the tournament used that terrible "three single questions and a triple" scoring system with the higher scoring family advancing further in the tourney.
In the finals of this tournament, no fast money -- but the teams played to a goal (what a concept!) of 500 points. The family who scored 500 won the tournament, the jackpot plus tickets to the Family Circle tennis tournament in South Carolina and hotel accomodations.
Question: How many "single" questions did they play before getting to the "double" (and yes, they did play a "double" points question...Louie pointed out it was the first time in "this version" of FF a "double" was played). And then when did they play for "triple" the points?
Reason I ask all this, I'm planning a few games to 400 (a la the Combs tourneys) or even 500 points.
Great site and great message board!
