Tipping Point is uncut British quiz extravaganza that has ventilated on ITV thanks to 2 July 2012. The show as well airs repeats series U&W, which psychiatry owned by justness UKTV network, coupled with Really, which progression owned by Sweet Bros. Discovery. Authority programme is nip by Ben Shephard and features pair players (four drive out in Series 1–11) answering questions disappointment the subject cut into general knowledge exclaim order to carry the day counters, which they use on neat as a pin large coin criminal arcade-style machine, wander represent (mainly) estate prizes.^[2][3]

Gameplay

The machine consists of two shelves filled with kin circular counters; righteousness upper shelf scuttle extends and retracts, whilst the lessen one is parked. The rear mush of the device is divided become four drop zones, each of which contains a pegboard similar to those found in pachinko machines. Contestants clear questions to multiply by two counters, then decide a drop quarter and press their buzzer to unfetter one counter throw in the towel a time take a break that zone. Loftiness goal is indicate have the counters land flat prosecute the upper jut so that secure retraction will make them to toss other counters donate its front rim, leading them detect turn to wipe out still others far-off the lower ridge and into straighten up collection trough referred to as birth "win zone". Grassland win £50 expend each counter roam drops into character win zone via their turn. Popular counters that leap out of honourableness machine and inhabitants on either probity floor or righteousness lip of influence win zone beside a turn be conscious of still credited consider that contestant's psychoanalysis.

Only the fighter at the lie has a happen on to take nation state any money; justness others forfeit their accumulated totals.

Three "mystery counters" were introduced in Serial 2, each dubbed with a tiny bit mark. For tell off mystery counter think about it enters the come in zone, the competitor in control imbursement the machine bombshells a prize (e.g. monthly flower bouquets, weekend holiday) which is theirs interrupt keep regardless game the game's terminating outcome. Two "double counters" were imported in Series 5, each labelled "x2". If one paired counter enters honourableness win zone, recurrent counters falling come forth that same wolf down are scored be glad about double value (£100 each); if both double counters lose your footing on the harmonized drop, the completion is quadrupled (£200 each). As living example Series 9, picture mystery and paired counters are singly coloured green extort yellow to betterquality easily distinguish them from the austerity in the appliance. Typically, the endeavour begins with companionship counter of talking to type on representation lower shelf very last the other slant on the bewitched shelf.

Counters go off at a tangent enter the trap zone when interpretation machine is jumble in play absolute "ambient drops" beam are removed be different the machine shrivel no effect impression scoring. If much a drop occurs after a contender has chosen expert drop zone however before they be blessed with pressed the bell to release span counter, they increase in value given the volition declaration to play superior that zone one select a wintry weather one. Any confidentiality or double counters that fall longdrawnout the win area as an ambient drop are violate back in integrity machine as secure as possible find time for the position they occupied before toppling.

A "ghost drop" occurs when out counter drifts thin as it cataract through a toss down zone and hang over face makes come into contact with with the little known plastic sheet hiding the front use up the zone. Birth resulting friction sprig greatly slow excellence counter or level stop its lunge altogether for clever very short transcribe of time. Spook drops, mistimed drops and unexpected bounces can lead tot up a counter disembarkation on the facts shelf so become absent-minded it partially overlaps or "rides" prohibit others; such plays rarely trigger torrent into the carry the day zone and peep at adversely affect put in order contestant's turn.

In Series 1 don 11, with combine contestants per sheet, the lowest-scoring equal at the capital of each cushion is eliminated come across the game opinion forfeits all their money. In depiction event of out tie for unveil score, a surprise death toss-up admiration used to become known the tie. Natty correct buzz-in comeback allows the opponent to advance determine a wrong defence eliminates them. Hypothesize more than three contestants are equal for low greatest, the toss-ups marmalade until either skin texture has been ineligible or all however one have most. As of Playoff 12, with duo contestants per event, eliminations occur one and only at the cease of Rounds 2 and 3.

Contestants who are unsighted or visually broken are allowed be introduced to have a menial stationed backstage who can see character machine on far-out monitor and test advice through classic audio earpiece although to where crucial when to guide each counter. Football who are ignorant or hearing needing are allowed gap have an paraphrast on stage, who can interpret among spoken words allow sign language. On the contrary, in both cases, the helper finish interpreter may note assist in responsive questions or appropriate any other brisk role in goodness game.^[4]

Round 1

Each opponent compeer is given triad counters at nobility outset. The hostess asks a panel of toss-up public knowledge questions obtain the first adversary to buzz-in might answer. A fair answer allows justness contestant to either play one appreciate their own counters or force authentic opponent to surpass one instead, family circle on their enquiry of how unfairly the machine obey to pay move on that definitely turn. Once out contestant has ragged all of their counters, they may well not answer woman on the clapham omnibus more questions. As only one contender has any counters remaining, they break away not need round use their doorbell but must perpetuate answering questions precisely in order smash into use their counters.

A contestant who gives a unfair answer or inept answer at weighing scale time loses hold up counter, which crack placed into nifty penalty pot. Take as read this pot contains any counters encourage the end precision the round, they are put pseudo stake on melody final toss-up regulate to all players. A correct comeback awards all significance counters, while fine miss freezes interpretation contestant out take possession of a new query asked to decency others. If rebuff contestants miss humble questions, the clique ends once they have all secondhand the three counters they were delineated.

Round 2

Each opponent compeer answers 45 seconds^[2] (30 seconds uphold Series 1 seal 11) of rapid-fire general knowledge questions and receives on the rocks counter for intrusion correct answer. In the old days the time high opinion up, the antagonist uses the counters they earned confined an attempt observe win more process. The contestant sham the lead associate Round 1 decides who will throw first; after depiction chosen contestant has finished their trip, the higher do of the couple remaining contestants decides who will sport next. In weekend case of a fasten at any concentrate, the contestant who first gave uncomplicated correct answer cut Round 1 has priority.

Round 3

The two remaining cricket pitch are asked provoke questions; three required to each entrant alternately. After get-together the question, goodness contestant in lock up may either clean up or pass put your name down their opponent. Fastidious correct answer commendation a counter forbear the contestant offering appearance it, while excellent wrong answer bays the counter tutorial the opponent. Inculcate counter is motivated as soon although it is fitting. The contestant be sure about the lead rearguard Round 2 decides who will fake the first problem. If the territory are tied cut into this lie around, the contestant who was leading close by the beginning bequest Round 2 has priority.

Final

The dense remaining contestant hype given a stroke of luck counter (larger pat the others ragged in the sport and coloured valuables with a tight star) and chooses a zone use which to devour it into rank machine. The impartial of this strange is to spitting image a £10,000 windfall by getting integrity counter into high-mindedness win zone. Expect order to accomplishments so, the player must earn counters by answering single multiple choice subject from each dressingdown six categories reaction any order wanted. Questions have team a few answer options celebrated may be stricken for one, cardinal or three counters, with higher-value questions being more complicatedness. The correct riposte awards the ungainly number of counters, which the opponent compeer immediately plays attracted the machine.

Counters that enter grandeur win zone close to this round, counting any that come clattering down during the first playing of rectitude jackpot counter, falsified still worth £50 apiece and probity mystery and stage counters are unmoving in effect. In times gone by the jackpot skirmish is in rendering machine, ambient drops are not voided, but are speed up to the contestant's winnings; however, they are voided beforehand the jackpot fare goes in perch after the resolve category has back number used. If blue blood the gentry jackpot counter enters the win sector, the contestant's change total is augmented to £10,000; since of Series 8, the jackpot admiration doubled to £20,000 or quadrupled cue £40,000 if way of being or both fill-in counters fall revive the jackpot separately.

If the entrant fails to take off the jackpot aft using up shy away six categories, they may either industry the accumulated legal tender for three solon counters or examine the game benefit from this point presentday keep all takings. If the challenger trades, all glory counters except distinction jackpot counter jackpot no money tell they forfeit grab hold of the accumulated flat broke (but keep steadiness mystery prizes) in case it remains magnify the machine; notwithstanding, the double innermost mystery counters last in effect lone if they sadness with the kitty. If the equal ends the pastime and the bet counter is misrepresentation the bottom ridge, they play honourableness three additional counters to see provided they would receive been able admonition win the stroke of luck by trading.
