And anyway a triple-0 game is not really such a remote possibility considering that TPTB reasonably should expect thousands more games to be played under these rules, and the scenario occurred at least twice (help me--or more?) in the first few thousand games. Furthermore, I would think that three players negging on all-in Final bets is a more likely scenario than any other type of three-way tie, just based on the fact that players are often tempted to say, "Aw, screw it" and bet it all, both when victory chances seem slim and when the category seems ultra-wheelhouse.

Oh, I didn't even think about that. What about tie games? Won't they have co-champs anymore like they used to?

From what we've heard from recent contestants there will be no more ties, a tiebreaker question will be used to break ties.

Which has been effect since after last year's ToC in November.

I've noticed that on the ToC tracker, Catherine Hardee is included. I'm curious as to why? Her games aired before Ben Ingram's ToC, so shouldn't the ToC contender list have been wiped clean right as the ToC started, like it usually is? In that case, Darren Harris-Fain should be #14, and Scott Ylinen should be #15 and still be in contention.

People in power have the control. If the producers want to have Catherine Hardee included as a possible for the November 2015 TOC that is their right. If Catherine Hardee had won her fifth game she would have played in the 2014 TOC. She did not, but the J! Tracker indicates she is currently in the top 15 for a place in the upcoming tournament.

Viewers and fans might have differing opinions about the cutoff line or dates. That is not where the decision lies though.

Scott has 15 players higher than him on the totem pole. All indications are he is out of the running.

When is that upcoming TOC taping, if anyone is allowed to say? Or has it already happened?

Asked and answered, your honor. In this very thread, no less.

The most interesting thing for me is the J!6 game;

Is it just me, or is the J!6 game leaderboard always empty?
