The information presented below is a guide to the format of the games played in 1988 in It's A Knockout and Jeux Sans Frontières and how points were awarded in each event. The series returns and instantly discards both jokers and the fil rouge, replacing them with an election game, where the team sitting out a game elect an opponent to score for them.
