It wouldn’t even need to be a paper copy. Have a tablet with the grid on its screen, give each player a color, then touch the color and grid square each time a correct response is given. If you look at the advanced stats on the website you can see how much data they are collecting each game. It’s

Re: [TV orNotTV] Inside Jeopardy podcast

I don’t know if it would be that much work to track in real time who gets what clue. You’d just need a paper copy of the printed grid to write down who answered what clue correctly, and I kind of assume they already have someone taking detailed notes about what clues have been played and who

They wouldn’t mention it going past one round. They’d announce a tie score, show a tiebreaker clue with a correct response, and congratulate the winner. If they wanted to show more, they would have to cut the show somewhere else. On Tue, Sep 6, 2022 at 2:27 PM PGage wrote: > I appreciate you
