Contestant Rankings - Regular Winnings

These entries rank contestants' original appearance winnings. For Teen, College, and Seniors Tournament winners, the total represents his/her earnings in the original tournament appearance. For others, it is only regular-appearance earnings.

For all of those players tied at $25,000, order has been sorted by the actual two-day total final score of the player's original tournament appearance, when that score is available; where scores are not known, those players follow and are sorted in reverse alphabetical order. (This is arbitrary and simply a consequence of the script used to do the sorting.)

Listed are all 225 participants from the past 15 Tournaments of Champions, qualifiers for the next ToC, and Derek Bridges, who took second-place in the 1996 Teen Tournament due to a final tie breaker.

In this and all other pages, where there is a tie between a regular season competitor and a special tournament winner, the regular season player gets the higher ranking.

These scores do NOT include any Tournament of Champions, Super Jeopardy!, 10th Anniversary Tournament, or International Tournament winnings. They reflect cash earnings only, and do not include cars given away to college champions, or now five-time champions.

For those players whose totals exceeded the maximum winnings allowed, the scores reflect game scores and not takehome winnings.
