Stay Tuned!: Jeopardy! "Battle of The Decades” Tournament To Kickoff Next Week

Starting next week, Jeopardy! will be kicking off its biggest tournament yet: The Battle of The Decades tournament. During the next three and a half months, 45 of the best players to ever grace the Jeopardy! set in the show’s lengthy 30 year history will be competing in a series of games from past tournament winners to "undefeated" 5-day champions. These games will lead up to the Tournament Finals, where one contestant is guaranteed to win $1 million on Friday, May 16, the last day of the tournament. Unlike the “Ultimate Tournament of Champions” over 8 years ago, the tournament weeks will not air consecutively until May 5th when the remaining contenders play in the quarterfinal, semifinal and final rounds in a two-week period. The first week of the Jeopardy! tournament will be dubbed as “1980s Week”. Listed below are the contestants who will be competing in the first five games of the special competition as well as a scheduled breakdown of what will be happening in each week of the Battle of The Decades tournament.
