Super Jeopardy! was a 13-week event that aired every Saturday evening on ABC (alongside Merv Griffin's adaptation of the board game Monopoly) starting on June 16 until September 8, 1990. In the summer 1990 event, a total of 36 contestants took part. The quarter-final matches had 4 contestants instead of 3. However, the winner of the quarter-final match advanced to the semi-finals. The semi-final matches and the 1-day final match had the usual 3 players. This was the last version of Jeopardy! to be run on a broadcast network (Jep! being made for GSN, Rock & Roll Jeopardy! for VH1, and Sports Jeopardy! having initially been on the Sony-owned streaming service Crackle, before moving to NBCSN), until Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time 3 decades later in January 2020.
As with the regular tournaments, the Jeopardy! round and Double Jeopardy! rounds were played for points instead of cash. The Jeopardy! round was worth 200 to 1000 points in increments of 200 points, and the Double Jeopardy! round was worth 500 to 2500 in increments of 500 points. This was the only instance where the second round values were not double that of the first. Just like the regular shows, there was one Daily Double in the 1st round and there were two in the 2nd round.
