2) Francois Barcomb
3) Emma Boettcher
4) Dhruv Gaur
5) Steven Grade
6) Lindsey Shultz
7) Gilbert Collins
8) Kyle Jones
9) Rachel Lindgren
500,000 iterations were run of the Tournament of Champions prediction model in order to create the predictions below for the semifinals.
Monday, November 11, 2019:
127 correct, 7 incorrect
3/3 on rebound attempts (on 13 rebound opportunities)
38.52% in first on buzzer (109/283)
7/7 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $29,200)
3/5 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $19,200
Wins SF: 52.465% of the time.
1st: 6.165% of the time.
2nd: 24.667% of the time.
3rd: 21.633% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts: After a very strong performance on Thursday, Emma is in a position where she’s a favourite to make the finals (and a probable rematch with James Holzhauer). Beating Dhruv will prove to be a challenge, though.
107 correct, 12 incorrect
6/8 on rebound attempts (on 17 rebound opportunities)
34.04% in first on buzzer (96/282)
7/9 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $16,600)
3/5 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $15,560
Wins SF: 38.784% of the time.
1st: 2.485% of the time.
2nd: 17.409% of the time.
3rd: 18.890% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts: Dhruv is the first College player to win a quarterfinal since Terry O’Shea in 2014; now, Dhruv gets to compete against one of Terry’s college pub quiz trivia teammates from Princeton. Dhruv has a very good chance of pulling off a second win in this game.
193 correct, 21 incorrect
11/11 on rebound attempts (on 39 rebound opportunities)
36.22% in first on buzzer (180/497)
11/15 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $9,400)
6/9 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $15,733
Wins SF: 8.750% of the time.
1st: 0.105% of the time.
2nd: 1.682% of the time.
3rd: 6.963% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts: “Kyle isn’t out of it, as Emma and Dhruv have to bet against each other in Final Jeopardy.” That typical quote from Alex might be Kyle’s best chance here of advancing. You never know what could happen in Final Jeopardy!
Andy’s “Roll it once” prediction: Emma and Dhruv fight tooth and nail, with Emma holding a slight advantage going into Final; Emma converts Final Jeopardy to book the first spot in the finals.
Tuesday, November 12, 2019:
1,220 correct, 37 incorrect
35/38 on rebound attempts (on 70 rebound opportunities)
57.71% in first on buzzer (1108/1920)
73/77 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $655,525)
33/34 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $30,594
Wins SF: 90.242% of the time.
1st: 82.386% of the time.
2nd: 5.711% of the time.
3rd: 2.146% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts: James certainly put the field on notice with an incredibly strong quarterfinal performance that was the highest ToC quarterfinal score since Joon Pahk in 2011. (Of course, that held for all of two episodes.) If he plays as well as he did in the quarterfinals, he should have no issue making the final.
169 correct, 15 incorrect
5/6 on rebound attempts (on 19 rebound opportunities)
41.27% in first on buzzer (163/395)
5/8 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $3,000)
5/7 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,714
Wins SF: 7.070% of the time.
1st: 1.201% of the time.
2nd: 2.454% of the time.
3rd: 3.414% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts: Steven’s reward for doubling through Final Jeopady (and the top Wild Card score) is a matchup with James in the semifinals. An upset is always possible and Steven, who has averaged ringing in first 23.5 times a game during his Jeopardy! career, might be able to do it through beating James on the buzzer and a well-timed Daily Double.
117 correct, 16 incorrect
7/11 on rebound attempts (on 28 rebound opportunities)
28.65% in first on buzzer (110/384)
3/6 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $4,400)
3/7 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,143
Wins SF: 2.688% of the time.
1st: 0.142% of the time.
2nd: 0.551% of the time.
3rd: 1.995% of the time.
Andy’s Thoguhts: Rachel’s good fortune likely ends here, as playing against two strong buzzers in James and Steven might see her struggle to get in. We might see shades of Brennan Bushee against Alex Jacob in 2015 (Brennan did not get in first until the 42nd clue of the game).
Andy’s “Roll it once” prediction: Steven gives James a good run, but James barely makes it a runaway and advances to the finals.
Wednesday, November 13, 2019:
121 correct, 10 incorrect
9/10 on rebound attempts (on 24 rebound opportunities)
37.59% in first on buzzer (106/282)
5/9 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $7,500)
4/5 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $22,400
Wins SF: 68.442% of the time.
1st: 6.677% of the time.
2nd: 38.879% of the time.
3rd: 22.886% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts: Francois surprised a lot of people with his quarterfinal performance, which was the 3rd-highest ToC quarterfinal score of all time. If he comes anywhere close to that performance in the semifinals, he should have no issue making he final.
121 correct, 19 incorrect
3/3 on rebound attempts (on 30 rebound opportunities)
31.43% in first on buzzer (121/385)
7/9 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $6,800)
5/7 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $11,857
Wins SF: 10.595% of the time.
1st: 0.175% of the time.
2nd: 2.596% of the time.
3rd: 7.824% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts: Gilbert has had the least buzzer success of the three players in this match; this could prove to make things difficult against Francois and Lindsey. Gilbert will likely need a favorable Final Jeopardy! in order to advance to the finals.
136 correct, 10 incorrect
1/1 on rebound attempts (on 17 rebound opportunities)
38.87% in first on buzzer (131/337)
7/8 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $18,000)
3/6 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $18,567
Wins SF: 20.963% of the time.
1st: 0.663% of the time.
2nd: 6.052% of the time.
3rd: 14.248% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts: Out of the frying pan, into the fire? After having to play James in the quarterfinals, Lindsey has now drawn Francois in the semifinals. Unfortunately, only one player can advance out of a semifinal; Lindsey will need to have buzzer mojo in Double Jeopardy! to have a shot.
Andy’s “Roll it once” prediction: Francois is a force again in this game and qualifies for the final; going third, Francois may be able to snipe the champion’s lectern from James in the final.
