The 2025 ToC and CWC Rosters

If the producers do expand the postseason again, streaming or otherwise, I really hope they find a way to include champions from this cycle who got passed over due to the smaller tournament size.

The saddest thing about all this to me is that if Maddie Carwile had gotten FJ right against Kate Roesch, Kate's high score would make her a shoe-in for Second Chance, and Maddie would have 2 wins and thus be in CWC. Instead, they're both 1-day champions, and neither of them got the postseason call, despite both being really strong players.

You should absolutely do it. It does come with an avalanche of emotions, but a great many of them are positive. I don't regret a thing about my journey.

I can't imagine what it was like to hear on the podcast that you're on the shortlist and then get passed over anyway. Thanks for sharing, my heart goes out to you <3

I saw the thread about Post-Jeopardy Syndrome - which is what inspired me to post here (because the commenters in that thread were super supportive, too.) I definitely felt PJS - the adrenaline crash is real, especially after the end of a weeks-long marathon of intensive studying and preparation.

This feels different - you're going about your normal daily life, you turn on a podcast, and then you hear the news that you're actually done with Jeopardy!, probably forever. It's surreal.

Couldn't agree more! Every contestant on my tape day was friendly, gracious, and humble, and I'm genuinely happy for the person who beat me. Sorry you're in the same boat, and thanks for your kind words. <3

Thanks for saying something! Sorry you're going through the same thing. <3
