Jeopardy! question

Seeing as there's six possible ways to arrange three contestants, I'd just assign each combination a number and roll a die.

Of course, drawing straws/numbers/whatever works just as well, and is probably the fastest and simplest method.

Of course, NYSI went all biblical...the contestants were chosen by Lot.

[quote name=\'TimK2003\' post=\'229787\' date=\'Nov 3 2009, 02:13 PM\']1st Coin Toss -- Person A v Person B
2nd Coin Toss -- Person B v Person C
3rd Coin Toss -- Person C v Person A

The person who did lost the least gets the first position. If all 3 are tied repeat the first 3 coin tosses.[/quote]
Considering the whole point of this discussion is why they would do something that complicated...

Being a former WOF contestant (and two-time winner), my educated guess would be that they drew red wooden numbered balls out of a brown faux leather bottle.  Before we were geared up with wireless mics, all three contestants would draw a number and clasp their hand until the CC (contestant coordinator) instructed us to reveal our numbers.

I hope it was a blind draw.

Since you don't list a source, I'll take it with a grain of salt.
