Average Total Winnings (including possible ToC): $44,154
ToC projection update:
With a projected 91 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.3799 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.4268).
An average of 5.2064 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.7438).
An early cutoff took place 20.985% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Tim Kutz qualified 52.123% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 15.276% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 3.128% of the time.
Fred Vaughn qualified 0.677% 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.)
