Championship Match

The participants in the Championship Match are the one player who won all seven preliminary matches (the Morning Champion), the seven players who won six of their preliminary matches, and the top player among those who won five of their preliminary matches.

Unlike in the preliminary rounds, all incorrect answers result in a deduction of 1 point. This is true regardless of whether the incorrect answer interrupted the question; it is thus different from ordinary “negs”.

Each player starts with 3 points. A player whose score reaches 0 is immediately removed from the match.

If any player reaches a score of 10 during the first 20 tossups, they sit out until tossup 21.

The Morning Champion sits out for the first 20 tossups, and enters at tossup 21 with a score equal to that of the leader at that time. After tossup 40, the lowest-scoring players are removed until four remain; if necessary, tiebreaker tossups are used, but they do not count in the overall score of the championship match. After tossup 50, the lowest-scoring remaining players are eliminated until two remain; the tiebreaker procedure is the same as before. At the conclusion of the match, tiebreaker tossups are read if and as necessary.

	The players with the lowest scores were eliminated until four players remained. Evan Ting, Felix Sacks, and Abigail AuYeung were tied for the last two positions, so tiebreaker questions were read. Abigail AuYeung answered the first tiebreaker question correctly to secure a spot in the next phase. Evan Ting answered the second tiebreaker question incorrectly, eliminating himself. Therefore, Evan Ting, Ryan Dai, Steven Long, Sam Kemeny, and Winnie Nutkowitz were eliminated. Anirudh Srinivasan, Spencer Manning, Felix Sacks, and Abigail AuYeung remained.
