Format
The show is based on the British game show of the same name. The show is a standard panel quiz show where two teams of three, compete for points awarded in three rounds, in order to find the overall winning team by points total.
- Round 1 involves both teams either having to rank three different sports persons according to a specific criterion, or match sports persons to specific criteria.
- Round 2, Battle of the Codes, involves a member from each an AFL and an NRL team go head-to-head, where as the teams must choose which party they lend their support.
- Round 3, Human Clock, sees one or two members of each team have to answer questions for as long as the other team members can sustain a physical challenge in the studio.[4]
Often within the first round, teams have to complete short physical tasks, which are usually linked to either one of the guests on the teams or to the question they have to answer.
