  2. ↑ However, here, we do not call everyone a loser, but rank them based on their pre-FJ! scores.
  3. ↑ Roger and Julia are the most successful couple in Jeopardy! history to both qualify for a Tournament of Champions.
  4. ↑ Among them, Steve and Jeff have played from single to four together at FJ!.
  5. ↑ Like Steve and Jeff, she is also the only player to have played in 1-, 2-, and 3-player Final Jeopardy! Rounds.
  6. ↑ As a way to satisfy this condition, it cannot be established if you sit in position 3 at the time of your first appearance, then win jointly with the champion, and then win the championship and sit in position 1 (however, if you graduate with honors with 5 consecutive championships), when re-challenging, sit in positions 2 and 3, then win unconditionally and sit in position 1. It is unknown due to lack of data, but India Cooper and Tom Nichols may also meet this requirement.
  7. ↑ If SC and CWC are included, S39 SC winners Jessica Stephens and Rowan Ward and S40 CWC winners Josh Saak are also included.
  8. ↑ If SC and CWC are included, Juveria Zaheer, S40's SC winner and CWC winner, is also included.
  9. ↑ This is the most difficult case to come by. For this condition to be met, both the winner and wild card qualifier of the group must advance to the finals, and the opponent they competed against in regular playing must advance to at least the semi-finals and be in the same group, which is very difficult. Starting with S39 ToC, it will be a 21-man system with no wildcards, so this record is likely to be maintained unless the process regresses.
  10. ↑ However, since this season had few regular games due to UToC, other various events and Ken Jennings's 74-day run, the season with the least number of episodes was S18 (only 3 players).
  11. ↑ If count the tiebreaker, the S37's $37,600 is the best (1/22/21).
