Ooohh, I'm sorry, Mike, but you were supposed to phrase it in the form of a question. The correct response was: "Could you please call me?"

It's nice that whoever wins that will be in the next Tournament of Champions.

I hope Ron Greenberg is somewhere, saying "Hey, guys? Teachers Tournament was done over twenty years ago. Get with the times.) :)
/Granted, on The Challengers, but still.

Enh. Works for me. As far as I'm concerned, our teachers aren't given enough opportunities to win huge amounts of money. :)

And the winner is still teaching at my current school.

After all, you're getting paid $25,000 per game, and really the only one you must win is the second. That's also taking the spot away from someone who didn't have the luxury of sneaking in with a wild card.
But I'm fine that it becomes a spot in the TOC, too.

I'm waiting for the introduction of the Weekly Triple. During the Jeopardy! round of one episode each week, contestants have the ability to wager up to 3x their current total. Of an incorrect answer will cost them 3x their wager.
It will be as great as Wheel of Fortune's toss-up, or Press Your Luck's add-a-one
*tongue firmly in cheek*
