No Emma Arnold?
No.
Before this discussion goes any farther, I invite any potential commenters to acquaint themselves with the first response in this week’s Mailbag column: https://thejeopardyfan.com/2024/01/andys-mailbag-1-14-am-i-a-whiney-baby.html
I don’t believe she was eligible for this event.
Being that Professors Tournament contestants were in the previous Champions Wildcard and nonwinning people who wouldn’t take part in the High School Reunion Tournament from Emma’s teen tournament were part of Second Chance, I don’t think you can assume that, Jeff.
Sounds good Andy. π
Thank you very much for sharing this Andy! π
