Finals Board
The Finals Board was the table of the fifteen highest scoring winners so far in that series. This was similar to the high score table found in many video games. It would start empty, and in the first fifteen episodes of a series fill with the winners' names and scores in descending order. These could subsequently be displaced by higher-scoring winners. Two or more contestants tying for 15th place were considered to be on the "sideline" and listed to one side of the board instead of in the table itself.

Famous quotes containing the word board:
“On board ship there are many sources of joy of which the land knows nothing. You may flirt and dance at sixty; and if you are awkward in the turn of a valse, you may put it down to the motion of the ship. You need wear no gloves, and may drink your soda-and-brandy without being ashamed of it.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
