Administration Options are items which control the environment in which a gameshow is played.

The Game Leader setting is fixed and is always set to Player. (In Gameshow Pro 3 it may be either Player or Instructor.) This setting assumes that a student is playing the game without an Instructor present, either against other students or alone.

The Correct Answer setting allows you to reveal or not reveal correct answers during game play. Select Reveal to display the correct answer immediately after a question is displayed. A setting of Don't Reveal is appropriate for contest situations, in which you do not want players to compete, learn the correct answers, then pass them on to subsequent players.

Settings for Onscreen Buttons and Keyboard Prompts settings are also fixed and are always set to On. This Onscreen Buttons setting causes navigation buttons to be displayed on most screens. Similarly, this Keyboard Prompts setting displays text help in the lower right corner of screens to guide players through the match. These settings make it possible for first time players to need no training.

Ring-In Sound options are settings which control the way contestants are acknowledged when they ring-in during a game. To activate a Ring-In Sound option, click on the desired sound level.

Ring-In Sound options are:

Tones
Plays a number of tones (1-5) corresponding to the first team to ring in.
Team#
States verbally - by team number - which team was first to ring in.
Off
No ring-in sounds are heard during the game.


Gameshow Pro 3 supports both Wired and Wireless Buzzer Systems, but Gameshow Pro Web - since its games are played in Player as Leader mode - does not use them. The Buzzer System setting of No in Gameshow Pro Web is fixed.
