The field for the 2nd Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament, set to begin immediately following the 32nd Tournament of Champions, has been unveiled. The field was announced on today’s Inside Jeopardy! podcast.
Headlining the field are two of the three players relegated from Season 2 of Jeopardy! Masters, Amy Schneider and Matt Amodio.
According to a press release from the show, the field of 27 will be competing for a first prize of $150,000 and a spot in the next Jeopardy! Masters.
This field, with players representing all eras of the show, includes Doug Molitor, who appeared on five episodes of the 1978-79 Art Fleming rebooted version of the series and then went on to reach the semifinals of the 1987 Tournament of Champions, representing Season 3 at the 1993 10th Anniversary Tournament.
Fans are also reminded that any top players not appearing on this list who weren’t a part of last year’s event are very likely not here due to their own turning down of the show’s invitation. While it obviously would be nice if we could see many of those players on the Alex Trebek Stage again, those players are certainly never obligated to participate; many of them may have decided that they want to focus on other aspects of their life, and participating in trivia competitions might just not be a priority for them right now.
