Three contestants challenge ESPN's Howie Schwab in a sports trivia contest. The game was played in three rounds. In "Leading Off", players took turns naming a major athlete and a major achievement of theirs. In the second round, a variety of games were played amongst the contestants that challenged their sports trivia. In the final round, "The Schwab Showdown", the contestant scoring the highest would face "the Schwab" in a one-on-one battle.
