Checked OCA again - tickets for Pop Culture Jeopardy are available now.

I actually think that IS the format. Michael Davies said on a recent episode of the Inside Jeopardy podcast that there will be twenty-seven first round matches with three teams in each, which would mean eighty-one teams and forty episodes.

Here is a shot of the set:

A hint of some possible set changes on regular J!:

It's a bit difficult to tell, but I think the game board is a single, seam-free screen, and (definitely), the single screen, between Ken and the contestants is positioned higher and appears to have a middle positioned support, not two supports holding it. Something looks different on the contestant stands sides, too!
MSTieScott:
Presumably both versions of Jeopardy! tape in the same studio, so it makes sense that major set changes would carry over.
If you compare the above pictures to the floor we currently see on air (here are two recent images), you can see that they've filled in the area between the host's position and the game board so there's no longer a sticky-outy part.

Scott, please remember that a lot of us aren't in the industry. We'd appreciate it if you wouldn't use technical terms.
