Format Changes[]
- Like Super Jeopardy! & the Jeopardy! GOAT shows, the games are played for points instead of dollars.
- After each game, the player receive points based on how they finished the game.
- Prior to each round, Ken will show the home audience where the Daily Doubles are located on that specific board. This rule does not apply, to normal Jeopardy!.
Awards[]
Match Points[]
The winner of each game scores three points. The second place finishers score only one. No points are awarded for third place finishers. After the first seven shows, the surviving players' scores would be reset to zero.
Match points will not be awarded in the finals, as this uses the classic 2-Game Final format from other tournaments.
Ties are broken by the number of wins, total number of correct answers, Coryat Score, and total score before FJ.
