Same as they are now $1000 for 3rd and $2000 for second. Prior to May 16, 2002, the second-place contestant typically received a vacation package or merchandise and the third-place contestant received lesser-value merchandise. see related link

How did they select contestants for the Ultimate Tournament of Champions?

"The tournament involved 145 contestants, all of whom were winners of past tournaments or past five-time champions, and was designed to produce two contestants who would face off in a three-game, cumulative-score final against Ken Jennings, who had won the most money in Jeopardy! regular play history"see related linkThe selection criteria does not mean that there could not be reasons the contestant was not on the show. Health, career and a wide range of reasons could prevent a contestant from appearing in the tournament and the 145 is the number who were contestants not the number selected by Jeopardy.

Is there a dress code on kids jeopardy?

For the show here's a quote about the audition from a winning contestant. Finally, last June, I found myself in a hotel conference room in downtown Chicago, joined by 20 or so other would-be contestants, among them lawyers and schoolteachers. All were dressed as if for job interviews. Some, having tried out before, were chummy with the Jeopardy! staffers, who distributed official Jeopardy! click pens, perfect for practicing buzzer technique. Jeopardy is a Multi million if not billion dollar business where everything decided by the professionals that chose you is about how it will effect the show and the viewers. They give a five minute break between shows as they tape the five shows each day. They are professionals that make sure they have had extra contestants show up for the day's taping. Because so many things could happen during the day's taping and they could need another contestant. If your appearance will hurt the show you will not be told to change, you'll just be an extra contestant that they had show up.

How old do you need to be to be in a rodeo?

That depends on the rodeo itself. Kids can be as young as five to enter some rodeo competitions like sheep-riding or wild-pony-catching. Junior rodeos allows contestants to be as young as ten or twelve to enter competitions. Non-junior rodeos allow for contestants to be at least 16 to 18 years of age to enter.

Is it we'll be five years old or will be five years old?

The word we'll is a contraction for the prounoun 'we' and the verb (or auxiliary verb) 'will'. If the speaker and another person are both going to be five years old, then it is correct to say: We'll be five years old. (We will both be five years old.) If the speaker is referring to them self only or any other persons or things, it is correct to say: I will be five years old. You will be five years old. He will be five years old. She will be five years old. It will be five years old. They will be five years old.
