Jeopardy ending co-champions
« on: February 18, 2016, 07:33:22 PM »
   Jeopardy! has announced that from now on in regular games (ie, non-tournament), if two (or three) contestants are tied at the end of Final J!, there will be  a tie-breaker question.

Unless I'm missing something, this was announced a while ago. This thread dates back to November 2014, when it was just a "rumor".
"I just wanna give a shoutout to my homies in their late-30s who are watching this on Paramount+ right now, cause they couldn't stay up late enough to watch it live!"

Now celebrating his 21st season on GSF!

I hear the Price is Right is going to have a new host. I guess Bob Barker is retiring!

I'm glad to see three people have stepped up to tamp down on the silliness here, but it was interesting to see that there's actually a prescribed course of action in case all three participants end up without money at the end of DJ.
