The difference is the players are amassing points, not dollars, in the games and at the end they are earn three possible point outcomes based on how they placed. The winner of each game earns three points, second place earns one point and a third (aka last) place finish earns zero points. The three players with the most points will make the finals.

There are various tiebreakers in the event players have the same amount of points, with the first one being their number of correct responses.
