ToC projection update:
With a projected 80 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 2.9164 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.3231).
An average of 4.5124 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.6093).

An early cutoff took place 11.412% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).

Tim Kutz qualified 65.966% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 24.235% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 5.280% of the time.
Fred Vaughn qualified 0.914% of the time.

(Note: Due to the possibility of a WGA strike, I feel that it is more accurate for ToC projections to add 20 games to the end of the previous projected qualifying period.)

David Rigsby’s next game: April 24

Next Week: Season 33, Week 33
