Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, nearly $500 has been raised.)

    Always get a chuckle that Jeopardy! calls the opening rounds “quarterfinals” when there are five contests! Ditto with the “semifinals”.

      The terminology is off, because the tournament doesn’t use true ladder-style eliminations, like drag racing or tennis. It would be better to call it Round 1 / Round 2 / Finals instead .
