Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 132 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.8331 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.6327).
An average of 6.8843 4+-time champions (standard deviation 2.0114).
An early cutoff took place 5.618% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Bif Reiser qualified 18.778% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 81.773% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 63.044% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 36.721% of the time.
Alex Schmidt qualified 13.508% of the time.
John Presloid qualified 3.566% of the time.
Jackie Fuchs qualified 0.442% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
Will should have bet no more than $800 in Final Jeopardy; Bryan’s bet was fine, as he was in Stratton’s Dilemma.
- Those who caught the “We’ll be back with Final Jeopardy right after this” got to see producer Maggie Speak having quite a bit of a moment there, with all of the gesticulating she was doing!
- This will be the 56th consecutive tape day where all 5 games taped that day have not been won by a single player. A record in this statistic is impossible to properly calculate, as some seasons have had unusual patterns (thanks to Celebrity games, usually.)
- Bryan came so close on the 2nd Daily Double, saying Snickers instead of Checkers. Sometimes the neurons don’t quite fire all the way.
- It was nice to see him not be “once bitten, twice shy” on the 3rd one, though.
- Effective in first on buzzer stats: Bif 33.33% (18/54), Bryan 27.78% (15/54), Will 38.89% (21/54).
