While the original capital was New York City, it was determined that Washington D.C. would become the federal capital of the United States of America in 1790 upon the city’s completion. The capital city was temporarily moved to Philadelphia at that point, and the executive mansion moved to President’s House in Philadelphia, located at 524-30 Market Street. While the original building was demolished in the 19th century, a President’s House memorial still stands at the corner of 6th and Market, at Independence Mall in Philadelphia.

ToC projection update:
With a projected 77 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.0432 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.3446).
An average of 4.7787 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.6274).
An early cutoff took place 13.644% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Alan Lin qualified 39.236% of the time.
Tim Kutz qualified 61.358% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 18.752% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 3.677% of the time.
Fred Vaughn qualified 0.646% of the time.
(Note: Due to the possibility of a WGA strike, I fiteel that is more accurate for ToC projections to add 20 games to the end of the previous projected qualifying period.)
