Around The Horn follows a standard format. The host (currently Tony Reali) moderates discussions of various sports topics among four different sports columnists and awards points for good arguments. In addition, he can mute columnists, which also subtracts a point from their score. At the end of the second and third rounds of discussion, a columnist is eliminated, until only two are left for the final "Showdown" round. The winner of the showdown is given 20 or 30 uninterrupted seconds to opine on any topic.
