ToC projection update:
With a projected 74 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.5952 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.2659).
An average of 5.0268 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.5472).
An early cutoff took place 22.852% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Tim Kutz qualified 46.168% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 11.310% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 1.718% of the time.
Fred Vaughn qualified 0.176% 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.)
Alan is on a roll. Disappointed about the knowledge about our legal system.
Disappointed that Alan Lin did not play like Seth Wilson or Matt Jackson today.
Indeed, he could’ve won more with more correct responses. However, what matters is that we’ll see him in the ToC.
A roll with a couple of potential stumbles. This is the second time in six games he benefited from opponents missing FJ. Today’s game felt pretty shaky throughout. Hope he steadies up for the remainder of the week.
Andy, I know the contestants for the 2017 Teachers Tournament now.
Wow Alan he did it again!
If Alan and Meghan wagered everything and were both right, and if Matt was right and wagered $3,800, then it would be a three way tie.
