$100,000 Tournament of Champions

Toward the end of the show's run, 21 $10,000 bonus round winners were invited back to play for $100,000. The following changes were made for the tournament:

  • Each game was played for a flat $3,000, and there were no bonuses awarded for the first two rounds. The endgame was still played for an additional $10,000. The seven winners and the two players who came closest to winning competed in the semifinals.
  • In the final match, the two losing contestants received $2,500. The winner of the tournament received $10,000 and played the bonus round one final time for the $100,000 top prize, which they were unsuccessful in winning.

Famous quotes containing the word champions:

    Did all the lets and bars appear
    To every just or larger end,
    Whence should come the trust and cheer?
    Youth must its ignorant impulse lend—
    Age finds place in the rear.
    All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
    The champions and enthusiasts of the state:
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
