* '''Observation''' - A montage of sporting action, followed by detail-based questions ("How many football players were seen wearing yellow shorts?").
* '''Home Or Away''' - Standard quiz questions. Contestants can choose "Home" questions, which are easier (usually about their own sports) but worth less, or "Away" questions, which are harder but worth more.
* '''Captain's Challenge''' - A newer round, where team captains engage in some sort of wacky challenge.
