Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 56 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 1.9421 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.0189).
An average of 3.0335 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.2771).
An early cutoff took place 0.063% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Ryan Bilger qualified 60.914% of the time.
Eric R. Backes qualified 92.466% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 70.052% of the time.
Lindsey Shultz qualified 31.157% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 4.898% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- This was the first confirmed regular-play game that did not have James Holzhauer in it where no contestant gave an incorrect response at any point (including Final Jeopardy). All four instances of this have come since May 1, 2019.
- At $52,000, the only regular-play game in J! Archive with a higher Combined Coryat is the June 3, 2019 game where Emma Boettcher defeated James Holzhauer.
The combined score after Double Jeopardy of $61,800 is the highest for a non-James Holzhauer regular-play game since February 17, 2016. ($69,600)
