Anybody watching the Jeopardy! Tournament?

I've been watching and am very impressed. I think it's way more difficult than the usual game.

I'm not crazy about the format, but it's sorta like quidditch -- they came up with an artificial format to match the requirements of using all the available players. Maybe there was a way to get 18 people some approximation of equal screen time, but I wouldn't be able to figure it out.

I don't like the format but my fantasy team is doing well so far.

If they got rid of the exposition, they could have played three games instead of two over three days. I would have much preferred that.

The questions are fine. The format sucks. When I started a three I was wondering what the J! Board thinks.

Can't say I'm too much of a fan of the format, especially because of all of the yakity-yak.

I do find it interesting that they only scheduled the first six games in Sweeps Month instead of the entire tournament.

As a lurker on the J! board I can say that most of those who post frequently there are OK with the All-Star game format.
