Jeopardy! Masters
Jeopardy! Masters is an American game show hosted by Ken Jennings on ABC. Its first season featured six recent notable Jeopardy! champions competing against each other in a "Champions League-style" format. It premiered on May 8, 2023. In a slight change to the Jeopardy! format, each round begins with the revelation to the television audience of the location of that round's Daily Double(s). Contestants

The tournament features six former Jeopardy! champions competing round-robin style, with ten hour-long episodes featuring two games each, for a total of twenty games. Unlike traditional Jeopardy!, which is scored in dollars, all of the games in this tournament are scored in points, just like in Super Jeopardy!, the first two seasons of Rock & Roll Jeopardy!, Sports Jeopardy! and Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time. Quarterfinals 
The quarterfinals consist of seven round-robin matches of two games each; in each round, three of the contestants play each other in the first game, and the remaining three play in the second game. The winner of each game receives three match points, the runner-up receives one match point, and the third player receives no match points. The second game of each round except for the first pairs up the winners from the previous round against another randomly-selected contestant who has not already played against both winners. After seven rounds, the match points are totaled; the top four contestants advance to the semifinals, while the other two are eliminated from the competition. Semifinals 
The four remaining contestants play each other round-robin over four games, with each player sitting out one game. Each player's match points total is reset to zero, and, as in the quarterfinals, the winner of each game receives three match points, second place receives one, and last place receives none. The three highest-ranked players move on to the finals, while the lowest-ranked player is eliminated. Finals 
The three remaining players play each other in a two-game match, as is standard in the final round of most Jeopardy! tournaments. The player with the highest combined score over the two games is declared champion. Furthermore, the three players will be automatically qualified in next year's tournament. Tiebreakers 
Should either the quarterfinals or semifinals end in a tie for match points, the following tie-breaking criteria are used, in order:
