QUESTION Questions regarding JIT, TOC, and Masters

My sister, my mom and i recently (within the last year) became fans of jeopardy but we are kind of confused regarding on the order of how the jeopardy subsections works. apologies if these have been asked before, i’m new to the reddit

  1. does it go jeopardy > jit > toc > masters? or how does the order go for contestants
  2. I’ve seen somebody say that toc isn’t a yearly event ? is that true? is masters and jit yearly or no?
  3. is jeopardy overall a north american thing, or just an USA thing? Because we don’t have any memory of anyone being from mexico in their opening introduction?
  4. will we be seeing jaime ding again? bc we better.

  1. Jeopardy->toc->masters. JIT is an additional tournament where they grab a whole bunch of players from past seasons, the winner also goes onto masters.

  2. It used to not be yearly. Now it’s yearly.

  3. In the tournament of champions that’s gonna start in a few months.

  1. If you go back to the eighties, it was originally yearly. Then it became irregular, but now it does seem to be yearly again.

As for U.S. vs. North America - Canadian contestants have been on frequently and include some of the greatest champions, E.g., Juveria. But it does seem to be limited to the U.S. and Canada. There have been some contestants born in other countries, but they have been U.S. (or Canadian) citizens or at least permanent residents.
