Avg. Total Winnings (including possible ToC): $67,059
ToC projection update:
With a projected 88 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.324 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.4097).
An average of 5.1508 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.7285).
An early cutoff took place 19.652% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Greg Chin qualified 17.394% of the time.
Tim Kutz qualified 53.758% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 15.898% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 3.150% of the time.
Fred Vaughn qualified 0.621% 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.)
Miscellany:
- A possible explanation for Greg’s wager: When doing his calculations, the standard lockout wager of $6,201 falls to $7,599 on an incorrect response. Thus, not having spoken to Greg, I believe that he simply may have been nervous and wrote down the wrong number onto the screen.
- The most recent player before Greg to win their first two games without finding a Daily Double: Rob Liguori, Feb. 28 & Mar. 1.
- The most recent player to win their first three games without finding a Daily Double: Christopher Short, Apr. 1-5, 2011.
