Just a thought on tournaments ... (I'm not checking this whole thread. I've seen the topic raised in at least one of the places where I'm following the story.)
The fact that they were calling it The $100,000 Pyramid at one point pretty well means that they're not going to have more than that as a top prize. The trouble is, with a potential $53,000 on every show, just playing two additional days could net you $106,000, so you don't want to call it a $100,000 tournament. However, daytime Password had an interesting twist. They might have called it a "tournament" or a "championship," but all they did is have a week of play under the same conditions and the same prize structure as every other week, with players who had done well. That could work with this format as well. Password brought back people who (I think) won the full $500 in their original appearances; The Pyramid could simply bring back the top ten winners for a week of really good games.
