How does the scoring system work in jeopardy game?

It's hard to explain.


But I will try my hardest to tell you.


Ok, to begin you start a 0.


Then Player 1 goes first! She/He gets $500 and they get a chance to answer a letter. If the continue getting right answers, there score goes up. If they don't, it moves on to the next player.


Player 2 goes!


He gets Bankrupt, but he answers a letter. He would like to solve to the puzzle and then he gets a bonus.


This continues on and on until something happens, like Doubles or The game ended.


Hope I helped.
