According to this release, the Teachers' Tournament will air November 7-20. So this means that 12 regular-game players will appear, along with two Teachers' champions, Patrick Quinn and one to be determined, and College Champion Monica Thieu.

Depending on when that Military Week airs too (although I think its champ will probably have to go in the next ToC - along with the College Champ and the Teachers Champ - less and less room for the average contestant on there ... )chuck5982 wrote:http://www.jeopardy.com/news/season29-premiere.php

Re: 2011-13 Tournament of Champions Standings (enter at your own risk)
If it's just a Military Week, and not a Military Tournament, it seems like that would be more along the lines of Kids Week or Power Players Week, with 15 contestants each playing a single game, and no champion determined, so no TOC spot would be awarded. Just my thinking, but I've certainly been wrong before.dhkendall wrote:Depending on when that Military Week airs too (although I think its champ will probably have to go in the next ToC - along with the College Champ and the Teachers Champ - less and less room for the average contestant on there ... )chuck5982 wrote:http://www.jeopardy.com/news/season29-premiere.php

The Teen Tournament being in January seems odd, since virtually all of the tournaments in the past few years have been held in Sweeps months. Although I suppose it could be starting on or around January 28th and running into February sweeps, to be followed by the TOC.

This seems likely, as the press release referred to to Teen Week as "a perennial fan favorite" [sic]jeff6286 wrote:Although I suppose it could be starting on or around January 28th and running into February sweeps, to be followed by the TOC.

What's the [sic] for? Is there something grammatically incorrect about that phrase, or were you just objecting to the idea of the Teen Tournament being a fan favorite?dhkendall wrote:This seems likely, as the press release referred to to Teen Week as "a perennial fan favorite" [sic]jeff6286 wrote:Although I suppose it could be starting on or around January 28th and running into February sweeps, to be followed by the TOC.

The latter - I'm sure it is, but I think around here it's the ToC that wins the favourite contest hands down.

I see Clue Crew member Sarah has gotten married.
It says "First Ever Military Week". Didn't they have one not long after 9/11? If I was in the military, I'd rather be a regular player. first, you have a chance to win more money than whatever you could get in one show. Also, no matter how well I do, I'd have the stigma of only beating people from a limited pool, not the collection of all contestants.
I'm assuming since they call it Military Week, it won't be a regular tournament.

There was an Armed Forces Week in June/July 1999. Fifteen people played a single game, and the winner with the highest total got double that amount of money.

haha... It wasn't like a Hyper-Super-Jeopardy with fifteen people on stage. It was like Kids' Week -- five independent games of three players each.Vanya wrote:Wow, sorry I missed that.seaborgium wrote:There was an Armed Forces Week in June/July 1999.

Re: 2011-13 Tournament of Champions Standings (enter at your own risk)
With the new season starting Monday, is it too early to discuss the next ToC? We have only six contestants with 4+ wins. What are the chances that someone with only 3 wins will be competing in the ToC? If the next ToC is aired in February 2013, I would guess that it would be taped in December 2012. How many new shows (excluding Teachers Tournament and any other specials) will be aired before the next ToC is taped? Fifty? Sixty?

I suppose the Military week would be sometime in the time before Kids week, so that's not going to be a tournament.Frank Hardy wrote:With the new season starting Monday, is it too early to discuss the next ToC?

Since the TOC is apparently airing in February, can anyone proffer any guesses as to when it might be taping?

Re: 2011-13 Tournament of Champions Standings (enter at your own risk)
Only two other ToCs have taken place in February, back in Seasons 14 and 15. The 1998 ToC taped on January 13-14 and aired February 2-13, while the 1999 ToC taped on January 5-6 and aired February 8-19.Swift'sSecondCourse wrote:Since the TOC is apparently airing in February, can anyone proffer any guesses as to when it might be taping?

TPTB hinted to me that it would be FILMING in February, not airing in Feb. But I haven't heard anything solid yet.

Re: 2011-13 Tournament of Champions Standings (enter at your own risk)
I think it's airing in mid/late February. I taped in late October and one of the games taped that day is the first one back after the Tournament of Champions.
