Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 90 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 2.8693 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.1502).
An average of 4.4102 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.4269).

An early cutoff took place 0.186% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).

James Holzhauer qualified 100.000% of the time.
Eric R. Backes qualified 90.450% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 69.585% of the time.
Lindsey Shultz qualified 35.813% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 8.942% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 1.844% of the time.

Andy’s Thoughts:

• Today’s one-day total was the 5th-highest one-day total of all time. James now holds the top five one-day totals and six of the top eight.
• James is now in third place all-time in total Jeopardy! winnings (including tournaments).
• As James’ performances stay closer to the mean and his variance decreases, the model believes that outlier performances are less likely and his win percentage increases accordingly.
• With James being incorrect on the first clue of today’s match, Liz Haigney Lynch’s record of seeing 179 consecutive clues without being incorrect remains intact.
• With $436,891, James has broken the record for most amount of money won on a single taping day. The previous record, $332,429, was set last week by James. The pre-James record was $221,200, set by Ken Jennings on July 19-23, 2004 (games 34 through 38 of his run).
• Effective in first on buzzer: James 67.92% (36/53), Gabby 15.09% (8/53), Nate 16.98% (9/53)
