The "match" is won by the person who has the greatest cumulative winnings from these two games. The tournament will then continue each night until either Jennings, Holzhauer, or Rutter wins three matches, which may take as little as three days or as long as seven. If no one reaches this mark first, then the tournament will conclude with today's matches. Each day during the weeklong event, there will be a new game played simultaneously across all three channels. The winner of tonight's game will play the next morning's game, and so on. The tournament winner is the player who accumulates the most points at the end of the week. These matches are called "singles" games. They last for five minutes, but can be replayed any number of times if there is a score dispute. In this case, the players will duel it out once more before moving on to the next game. At the end of the week, only the top four players will advance to Sunday's finale. All others will be eliminated from the tournament. The winner of the Tournament of Champions receives $500,000. If no one wins the whole thing, then the prize will be split among the players who finish second through fourth. The inaugural Tournament of Champions took place on July 2-7, 1990.
