Finals: Mancuso/Briley/Schaefer - Part 1
May 10

Last week, fifteen teenagers headed to the quiz show equivalent of "The Hunger Games" in Southern California. Now it's on to the Capital, as the action switches to DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. At stake, $75,000 and the title of the 2012 Teen Tournament Champion. Second place gets $25,000. Third gets $15,000. All tournament tributes will receive the all new edition of Classroom Jeopardy! for their schools. All money will be determined, as always, by how far the players go in the tournament.

Part 1 starts.... now.
