Amy Schneider Has a New Strategy For ‘Jeopardy! Masters Tournament!
Although some fans expected Andrew He to win the “Jeopardy! Masters Tournament”, he faced stiff competition from season 38 Tournament of Champions winner Amy Schneider. In an interview with the San Francisco Bay Times ahead of the show’s premiere, Amy revealed that he has a new strategy to enter the new tournament.
“With almost every game of Jeopardy!, if you lose, you’re done. This is a different scenario, like a sports league season. You keep playing. If you lose, you will get up and take it to the next match,” he explained. “That will be interesting. How do you adjust throughout the season? How do you change your game when you’re up against James Holzhauer, against Matt Amodio or Sam Buttrey? Does that change the way you play the game? That is something that Jeopardy! didn’t have the opportunity to explore before.”
He said that knowing each other’s strengths and weaknesses is “exactly” the point of the new tournament, which features the six strongest players in “Jeopardy!” history.
The tournament begins on May 8 and will run throughout the month. On Wednesday, May 17, the show aired its regular finale. The first round of the semi-finals will begin on Monday, May 22. The second round will begin on Tuesday, May 23, and the final will begin the following day.
For those unable to watch the tournament live, every episode is also available to stream on Hulu.
