Right now, there are 4 parameters:
- The number of wins that your favorite champ has right now (
CHAMP_WINS
) - The number of regular Jeopardy! games left before the next ToC (
GAMES_LEFT
) - The probability that your favorite champ will be passed (in dollars)
by someone with the same number of wins (
PROBABILITY_CHAMP_WON_LESS_MONEY_WITH_SAME_VICTORIES
) - The maximum number of new champions who could pass your favorite champ (
MAX_STRONGER_CHAMPS_TO_REMAIN_ELIGIBLE
) for them to still remain eligible for the ToC.
For example, if your favorite champ is in 10th place, and there's a teachers champion and a college champ, then potentially there are 13 spots available to regular Jeopardy! contestants. That means that there could be at most 2 more champions from regular Jeopardy! for your favorite champ to remain eligible.
