The Tournament

From the makers of QI, we got one of the straightforwardest game shows ever concieved. Wow this show is bland. But in my opinion, it's lack of ambition beyond 'what if we did a game show tournament with the rules of a soccer tournament' also makes it prime material for some relaxed, stressless times that has decently engaging statistics alongside it. So! Let's give it a crack.

Available stats

  • I don't think this'll come as a big surprise, the tournament results.
  • Every contestant has their placement in the preliminary round between brackets for the quarterfinals, as well as the money they are worth. Every subsequent round takes their result from the prior round as their placement.
  • Any winner will be marked, anyone who managed a knockout and got the 'cheeky £500 bonus' will be underscored.
