Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 124 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.4802 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.5618).
An average of 6.3093 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.9325).
An early cutoff took place 3.174% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Rachel Fabi qualified 1.132% of the time.
Eric R. Backes qualified 88.020% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 72.098% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 48.277% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 22.602% of the time.
Alex Schmidt qualified 5.647% of the time.
John Presloid qualified 0.798% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Alex certainly has a way of telegraphing how Final Jeopardy! is going to go; I could tell by his reaction to Rachel’s $0 wager that it was probably going to hold up to win.
- This is the 19th time in regular play since October 4, 2004 where we had the betting situation of “first equals second plus half of third” (tonight’s situation). Second place has never gone all-in and this is only the fourth time where third place bet $0 (the wager that gives Rachel the best chance to win). The fact that second has not gone all-in in this situation means that it’s probably in a leader’s best interest in this situation to not bet the extra dollar, but that does go against current wagering theory (especially considering Doug held a definite advantage over Amanda on the buzzer).
- Doug was in a really tight spot on the last Daily Double, as $2,000 Daily Doubles are usually as hard as an average Final Jeopardy! for a player, and it was in a category in which $1,200 was a Triple Stumper and $1,600 was a question that Doug had responded incorrectly to.
- Amanda’s sweater screamed “University of Michigan”; I assume she’s an alumna of that university.
- Effective in first on buzzer stats: Rachel 27.66% (13/47), Amanda 31.91% (15/47), Doug 40.43% (19/47).
