Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
The Tournament of Champions finals move on to Game 3 today, with Paolo Pasco a victory away from ending the tournament today. With Paolo on 2 victories, you also might see some alternative betting strategies in Final Jeopardy, especially in a situation if Paolo is outside of 50% of the leader’s score. Also, while Paolo has dominated the first two games of the final, it would not surprise me if the momentum shifted here slightly.

When Christopher Columbus sailed past the Leeward Islands in 1493, he chose to name a number of the islands in the area the Virgin Islands in honour of Saint Ursula and her holy virgin followers.
I like this as a Tournament of Champions-level Final; 1493 should put people in the right area of the world, while the knowledge of St. Ursula is something I would consider to be ToC-level.
