We are down to nine players in the 32nd Tournament of Champions as things are just beginning to heat up! Here are your semifinal pairings:
Tuesday, February 4, 2025:
Adriana Harmeyer (1) (+770)
West Lafayette, Indiana
376 correct, 43 incorrect
21/24 on rebound attempts (on 63 rebound opportunities)
37.23% in first on buzzer (360/967)
12/18 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $18,000)
14/17 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,094

10/11 on rebound attempts (on 29 rebound opportunities)
32.46% in first on buzzer (111/342)
5/8 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $4,000)
2/6 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $17,100
Will Wallace (12) (+1000)
Austin, Texas
106 correct, 19 incorrect
8/8 on rebound attempts (on 32 rebound opportunities)
30.12% in first on buzzer (103/342)
6/8 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $8,200)
3/6 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,100
Andy’s General Thoughts: Semifinal #1 sees Adriana Harmeyer face off against Ryan Manton and Will Wallace. Adriana has a slight edge on the back of her strong play in Final Jeopardy during her initial run, while both Ryan and Will were in double digits in net high-value correct responses in their respective quarterfinals. Even if Adriana is in third going into Final, though, she might still be able to pull through on her strengths in Final Jeopardy as long as she’s in score contention.
What The Prediction Model Thinks: Adriana 35.301%, Ryan 33.249%, Will 31.450%.

Wednesday, February 5, 2025:
Isaac Hirsch (2) (+630)
Burbank, California
299 correct, 51 incorrect
16/21 on rebound attempts (on 45 rebound opportunities)
47.60% in first on buzzer (298/626)
14/20 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $9,800)
8/11 in Final Jeopardy

4/5 on rebound attempts (on 27 rebound opportunities)
38.44% in first on buzzer (153/398)
13/17 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $34,600)
2/7 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,371
Amy Hummel (7) (+1500)
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
134 correct, 27 incorrect
9/12 on rebound attempts (on 41 rebound opportunities)
34.01% in first on buzzer (134/394)
3/8 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$11,700)
4/7 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,686
Andy’s General Thoughts: The only reason why Isaac didn’t win his exhibition game is because Drew found Daily Doubles. Mark had a strong quarterfinal, but I could definitely see Isaac dominating the run of play in this semifinal. Amy has time and again demonstrated that she knows how to win, though, and she could absolutely swoop in and take this one if Isaac and Mark run into problems.
What The Prediction Model Thinks: Isaac 38.611%, Mark 34.058%, Amy 27.331%.

Average Coryat: $20,000
Andy’s General Thoughts: There are some people on the Internet who would like to translate two-player bracketing to three-player and believe that it’s the only fair way to bracket players. However, here are my two cents, informed by my decades worth of experience in terms of tournament logistics and organization in multiple sports/competitive activities: I believe the fairest way to bracket a three-player semifinal is to place the #4 and #5 player in with the #3 player, as it gives the #4 and #5 players the fairest chance of advancing. I came around to this many years ago when I realized that the Jeopardy tournament narrative always seemed to be “two strong players and someone else” in the final—and what better way to determine that third spot by letting 3, 4, and 5 play against each other? It also has your 3, 4, and 5 avoid those two strong players until the end. I applaud Michael Davies for pairing the top two quarterfinalists by score with the #3 seed—even keeping the two Drews together in doing so—because I believe this is smarter bracketing than what many on the Internet are suggesting. I suspect that this match is going to be reminiscent of the Will Yancey–Evan Dorey semifinal in Champions Wildcard, but we shall see what happens.
The Prediction Model Thinks: Neilesh 36.543%, Drew G. 33.313%, Drew B. 30.324%.
