Jeopardy! Tenth Anniversary Tournament

The "Jeopardy!" Tenth Anniversary Tournament was a special one-week tournament held in 1993 in honor of the tenth anniversary of the quiz show "Jeopardy!"

election of players

Starting with the regular play game aired November 1, 1993, the game's winner drew one name from each of two bowls on stage. Each bowl was filled with the names of Tournament of Champions semifinalists and finalists from a single past season. The winner of the 1993 Tournament of Champions, which began the following week, was given a bye into the Tenth Anniversary Tournament.

Format

The tournament lasted one week, with three qualifying round matches to determine three finalists who would then go up against each other in a two-game total point match. Eliminated semifinalists received consolation prizes of $5,000, while the second runner-up received a guaranteed minimum of $7,500, the first runner-up received a guaranteed minimum of $10,000, and the winner would earn his or her two-game total plus a $25,000 bonus. [Early on during the Tournament, host Alex Trebek announced in error that the winner's purse included a $10,000 bonus, not a $25,000 bonus.]
