Jeoff Barraclough was the announcer (as well as music coordinator). Round 1 Three contestants competed per episode, one a returning champion. In round 1, four categories were presented to the players, each containing four notes, with each note ranging from 50 to 100 points (in 5-point increments).

Round 2 In this round, Barnett was joined ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
