How to run this board

Watch parties need something for halftime, and this is it: baseball, basketball, football, world soccer, the Olympics, and a records-and-championships column that cuts across all of them.

Get the board on the TV before the room fills up, then have people join from their phones as they arrive. Team play keeps the casual fans engaged; let each team include at least one person who does not know the starting lineup.

One rule worth announcing: the buzzer is final. The entire point of playing this way is that the server decides who was first, not the loudest voice.
