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:
“Don’t tell me what delusion he entertains regarding God, or what mountebank he follows in politics, or what he springs from, or what he submits to from his wife. Simply tell me how he makes his living. It is the safest and surest of all known tests. A man who gets his board and lodging on this ball in an ignominious way is inevitably an ignominious man.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
