But more importantly, what do you think Jeopardy would do since they always have a seasonal Tournament of Champions? The Tournament of Champions is postponed until the following season, i.e., whenever the reigning champion is dethroned and enough champs can fill the TOC roster The TOC is held like normal, with those who performed the best against the reigning champ (say, highest money totals) competing, while the reigning champ is excluded. Same as the above option, except the winner also gets to return in the upcoming season to have one more shot against the reigning champ. A second chance at redemption! ...obviously, this would mean they surpassed Ken Jennings' streak by a huge margin.

The first guy trains for months and beats the champion in the ToC Epic --- You've got to tell me. Why don't you just tell me? <cite>Shishiwakamaru posted [p:965710953] in What-if: A...
