The
best and the brightest of the past year and a
half of Jeopardy! have returned for one final
showdown to determine who will have the right to
be called champion and quarter-millionaire.

Among the probables to the throne are a recent
record-breaker in Brian Weikle, a friend to the
game show community in Ben Tritle, college
champion Kyle Hale, and twelve other bright
notables such as Kathy Cassity, Mark Brown, and
Eric Floyd. Here you will see archived matches,
commentary, and a bracket to chart the progress
of the tournament. Who knows, maybe your
favorite will rise above the others and earn
$250,000 and bragging rights for at least a
year.
As the top purse has expanded, so have the rest
of the prizes. The second place winner is now
guaranteed at least $50,000 and third-place is
ensured $25,000. Semifinalists are guaranteed at
least $10,000, while all tournament players are
guaranteed $5000 for participating. Any and all
monies, as always, depend on how far the player
moves up the bracket. At stake, over $400,000 in
cash will be given away in the course of two
weeks.
