The Tournament

The Tournament is a British television game show, first broadcast on 8 November 2021. It is screened on BBC One, produced by QITV and hosted by Alex Scott. It was devised by James Rawson and Dan Schreiber. On 16 May 2022, the BBC renewed The Tournament for a second series, which premiered on 20 September 2022. In 2023, it was announced that it had not been recommissioned for a third series. Gameplay Eight contestants take part in each episode, competing over three rounds and a final until only one remains. Round 1 The host asks eight general-knowledge questions with four answer options each, and all contestants separately and secretly lock in their guesses. After all eight questions have been played, the contestants are displayed on a leaderboard, ranked by the number of correct answers given. Ties are broken in favour of the contestant who took the shorter total time to lock in their responses. Each position on the leaderboard is assigned an amount of money to take into the next round (£500, £350, £300, £250, £200, £150, £100, £10, from top to bottom).
