Healthy competition motivates us to give our best, not just good. We grow more inquisitive, do our own research, and learn to cooperate with others. It also pushes us to go above and beyond what is necessary. ''Jeopardy!' is a game show known for its unusual structure which involves providing competitors with the answers first and then asking them to offer the questions, and on occasions requiring them to risk their prize money to boost their chances of winning.

ABC is pairing up with 'Jeopardy!' for an all-new primetime tournament in 2022 titled 'Jeopardy! National College Championship'. 'Jeopardy! National College Championship' is an all-new tournament in the game show’s long history which features students from colleges and universities from across the country. The contestants will battle head-to-head for nine days in a throat-cut competition.
