Jeopardy! National College Championship

'Jeopardy! National College Championship' is a special tournament series of the quiz show Jeopardy! that aired on ABC from February 8 to 22, 2022.

Format
Participants enter 12 quarterfinal games, with 2 games broadcast per episode. Winners of every game advance to the semifinals and eliminated players receive a $10,000 consolation prize. The 12 semifinalists are then split into 4 matches, with the top 3 scorers entering the finals. The bottom 7 semifinalists receive a prize of $20,000, whilst the 4th place receives a $35,000 prize and entry into the daily show's upcoming Second Chance Tournament later in 2022. The highest scorer of the 2-game final receives the 1st place prize of $250,000, and an entry into the Tournament of Champions, 2nd place receives $100,000 and 3rd place receives $50,000. Unlike the regular College Championship, there are no wild card spots for high-scorers among non-winners; it was "win or go home".

The 36 contestants were announced on February 2, 2022.
