I guess that there will for sure be no 3x winners in the next ToC.

I'm happy to turn over the TOC update duties around here, but if the Sony board returns to life, I'll take over once again.

And as before, I am maintaining a running probability calculation on my personal site. So, if you want to know my estimates of the chances of various people making the ToC, look here.

If you guys would like (also hi all), I can post spreadsheets of this stuff, I'm pretty good in Excel, and have a ToC template almost set.

And speak of the devil, Nick I hope you like this integration.NJCondon wrote:And as before, I am maintaining a running probability calculation on my personal site. So, if you want to know my estimates of the chances of various people making the ToC, look here.
It's nowhere near perfect, and with the board very finicky with size, I tried my best to get much in as possible. Nick, I don't mean to steal your data, but it might help to have those in there. I cited you as my source, so I hope you don't mind. For full size of this see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/roadgeek/5 ... otostream/

First off, kudos to Adam for the presentation; looks nice!
Second, the new odds update is up on my site. tl;dr Mark's a near-lock for the Tournament, Anthony Fox moves off the list, and Paul Wampler is now on the bubble and highly threatened. Everyone else is about where they were at my last update.

Re: 2010-11 Tournament of Champions Standings (spoilers)
When it's all sorted out like that, the toughness of this field becomes more visceral; Tom Kunzen and Jay Rhee (just to pick two) in the same game? That's gonna be brutal.MarkBarrett wrote:I'll take an early guess at the QF games:

By the way, I've never looked into how the matchups are set for the ToC QF; is there some sort of known system, or are you just trying outguess Glenn et. al.?

Re: 2010-11 Tournament of Champions Standings (spoilers)
I was only playing a guessing game, but there are some patterns from previous TOCs. If there are five or fewer women they are not playing each other in the QF round seems to be the only lock rule.NJCondon wrote:When it's all sorted out like that, the toughness of this field becomes more visceral; Tom Kunzen and Jay Rhee (just to pick two) in the same game?

I separated the college and teacher winners.
The QF5 games have been all male 14/22 years.
Last year 7x, 6x and the three highest $ 5xers each played in different games.
For the previous 5 TOCs the pattern has been: (Woman in bold) (C = College)
2004: 44C, 734, 54C, 534, 644
2006: 3C5, 633, 543, 3195, 84C
2007: 554, 535, 545, 445, C35
2009: 495, 654, 454, 564, 445
2010: 45C, 54C, 544, C74, 456
Run that through the Condon-culator and see if you can find a pattern. One mistake I made above was putting Craig and Spak in the same match. I forgot they were very close in airdates.

Re: 2010-11 Tournament of Champions Standings (spoilers)
I don't know...Jay was good, but to me it looked like his strengths played to what I would call the "regular show bread and butter." I am not so sure how well he will do on ToC material. And this is shaping to be a very good field, and it's not even finalized yet, so it may be inevitable that we sill see some titan clashes in the QF games.When it's all sorted out like that, the toughness of this field becomes more visceral; Tom Kunzen and Jay Rhee (just to pick two) in the same game? That's gonna be brutal
Also, in last year's ToC it looked like TPTB had Justin Bernbach and Terry Linwood pegged as the two best players in the field, and put them in the easiest matches, and then distributed the next 9 strongest players among the other three games. So there's no telling what kind of formula they use.

Re: 2010-11 Tournament of Champions Standings (spoilers)
First thought that comes to mind: Jay Rhee, is not on my top list of likely finalists, but I disagree putting Rhee & Kunzen in the same game, Mark, probably would be better if you gave the spot in that game to John Krizel first. Kursky v. Runsvold v. Temple would be an interesting match. I am looking more at this, with absolutely no data to work with but absolute guts:StevenH wrote:I don't know...Jay was good, but to me it looked like his strengths played to what I would call the "regular show bread and butter."

QF 1: - I feel if we started off the ToC with a bang: This should be the first day:
- Mark Runsvold
- Erin McLean
- Tom Nissley
QF 2:
- Kara Spak
- Christopher Short
- Charles Temple
QF 3:
- Tom Kunzen
- Buddy Wright
- Sara Heard
QF 4:
- Paul Wampler
- Paul Kursky
- Brian Meacham
QF 5: (The Real Match)"
- Roger Craig
- Jay Rhee
- John Krizel
If we could start off the week with not Roger, but Mark and finish the week with Roger, it might keep people watching a bit more. (Just my theory). Using Mark's patterns its bascially: 4/C/8 - 5/6/T - 5/4/4 - 4/5/4 - 6/5/4

Tom Morris and Larissa Kelly, and Dan Pawson and Cora Peck appeared in adjacent episodes, and each pair appeared together in the 2009 QFs.MarkBarrett wrote:One mistake I made above was putting Craig and Spak in the same match. I forgot they were very close in airdates.
