Jeopardy! GOAT taping today

[Bob Juch]

It's a closed set with an invited audience per Randy West.

From the way I heard the rules described, it could take anywhere between 6 and 14 regular-length episodes to determine a winner. I would assume that they would probably split that into two days of taping unless someone ran the table.

isn't it simply the first player to win three regular-length games? That would mean 7 games at most?

I thought that each "game" was a two-episode, most-total-money contest, like tournament finals. Except that the two episodes would run back to back in a one-hour time slot.

But the GOAT tournament will be anything but typical: It consists of a series of two back-to-back games, airing weeknights (8 EST/PST) beginning Jan. 7. The player with the most combined winnings from the two games wins the “match,” and the play continues on successive nights (except Monday) until one of them has won three matches and takes home a $1 million prize. (The other finishers get $250,000 apiece). That means the tournament can last anywhere from three to seven days.
