How I thought about my ability to return to Jeopardy for the Invitational Tournament open.substack.com/pub/jometry/...

www.j-ometry.com is updated with the 2025 Jeopardy Invitational Tournament lineup (including... me)

Still some odds and ends to enhance the particular flavor of the game, but popculture.j-ometry.com is now on par with the mainline site. #jeopardy #popculturejeopardy

Still expanding it, but popculture.j-ometry.com is now live with data from the first three games of Pop Culture Jeopardy #jeopardy #popculturejeopardy

Some minor changes in labeling on j-ometry.com are live, primarily to avoid Primetime Celebrity Jeopardy being labeled as "PCJ" when Pop Culture Jeopardy now also exists. Pop culture coverage is in development. #jeopardy

The j-ometry homepage now includes the lists of announced champions returning for the 2025 Champions Wildcard and the 2025 Tournament of Champions.

The j-ometry homepage now includes links to a summary of and the individual pages for the just-announced 2024-25 Second Chance Competition.

Updates for this week will all occur this weekend.

While I’ve been on chemo, I’ve also been scoring myself on America’s favorite trivia game show and finding patterns and comparisons. Now that the season is done (and my chemo is nine hours from done), here’s the result. open.substack.com/pub/jometry/...

Statistics for Jeopardy! on April 11, 2024: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga...

Regular play returns to Jeopardy! with the April 10, 2024, episode. Stats are at j-ometry.com/game.html?ga...

Estimated attempt value and conversion value percent for Jeopardy! Invitational semifinalists, through semifinal 1. Something to watch: semifinals 1 and 2 group players in similar regions of the space. In semifinal 1, the players moved in the region but none broke particularly better or worse.

The core stats for today's Jeopardy! game put Hannah and David in pretty much a dead heat statistically in the buzzing game. j-ometry.com/game.html?ga...

In case you've wondered why site updates are sometimes randomly delayed by days.

All recent Jeopardy! games up to today's are loaded into j-ometry.com for your perusal. I didn't have a great way to fit the play-in games on Tune-in into sequence but I didn't want to leave them out, so they are slightly farther down and labeled as Season 40A.

New feature: Game Progress on game pages includes trend lines for statistics, allowing for a different feel of the game's flow.

Statistics for the remainder of this week's Jeopardy! wildcard games, eps 40-63 to 40-65, are now available: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... j-ometry.com/game.html?ga...

Stats for Jeopardy! ep 40-62, Dec 5, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Buz$ for this game had Andrew leading only $11800-$9800-$6400, so the DJ DD swing (-$2600 for Matt and +$5000 for Andrew) made a huge difference. Andrew led attempts, Matt timing, and Laura accuracy.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-61, Dec 4, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: This one worked out pretty evenly in the buzzing game, with Julia emphasizing attempts, Finn accuracy, and Kristen timing. Flipping Kristen's DD misses would likely have flipped the game, too.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-60, Dec 1, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Garrett led the buzzing game through better timing than Brianne and better accuracy than Bryce, but the game could have swung another direction if it weren't for his +1.9 DD+C giving him all the DDs and $9000.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-59, Nov 30, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Tyler's higher accuracy (100%, aided on the correction) and taking all the DD opportunities took the edge over the buzzer timing Ciara demonstrated her first time on.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-58, Nov 29, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Y'all, this one is just a wild one statistically, and streaky. Just go take a look.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-57, Nov 28, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Nick and Dennis gained timing versus yesterday but attempt dynamics stayed similar. Nick stayed fully accurate to keep pace with Dennis.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-56, Nov 27, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Divergent statistical styles that still led to similar places. Jen and Dennis led attempt stats - Jen built with timing at the top while Dennis built with likelier solo at the bottom. Nick ran on perfect accuracy.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-55, Nov 24, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Large gaps in att stats, with Dennis leading (48/$39.4k), then Fred, and then Danielle. This gave Dennis a solo lead, but Danielle stayed in with better timing and better selection as she got an extra 1.3 DDs.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-54, Nov 23, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Ed led on the buzzer stats, leading every measure except for accuracy. Amy stayed in the game with what was likely solo work at the bottom of the DJ board, but Jen's DD3 wager was the game's turning point.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-53, Nov 22, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Nick outplayed everyone at the bottom of the DJ board, with a ~$6000 lead in attempt value in DJ that gave him about $10800 in solo for that round.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-52, Nov 21, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Although Ed ended up well ahead in the buzzing game, it was close until late - but Sandy took some chances to close the gap from Ed's DD$ and hit a late game fall in accuracy.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-51, Nov 20, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Deanna led on attempts and buzz%, through a large timing lead and a moderate solo lead, and she found all the DDs for +1.5 DD+C. Her accuracy fell late as she tried to lock it up, but she got the lock anyway.

Statistics for Celebrity Jeopardy! 2-7, Nov 15, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Ken noted that Rachel found her timing at the end of the game, and he was right. Although Mack led her +1.7 to +1.5 on timing by clue count, Rachel led him +$2584 to -$1130 by value because of her TJ groove.

Statistics for Celebrity Jeopardy! 2-6, Nov 1, 2023 j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Dulé attempted less value than his opponents, but had better enough accuracy and timing to make him the top converter. Notably, he was the only one above water in TJ.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-50, Nov 17, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Carrie's lead was built on her attempt lead and timing (+$6340), but Danielle's superior accuracy (97% to 57% by value) meant that her conversion by value was higher, which kept her above the threshold.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-49, Nov 16, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Amy and Scott were roughly even on buzz score and most of the value statistics contributing to it, but Amy's DD$ lead of $1000 to Scott's -$7600 completely changed the game dynamic.

Statistics for Jeopardy! 40-48, Nov 15, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Not surprisingly, Henry led DD+C +2.36 to -1.10 to -1.26 and made $12100 in DD$. But the other key is that the FJ wagering left Kit in control of the valuable Triple Stumper outcome.

Statistics for Jeopardy! 40-47, Nov 14, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: With attempt values all near each other, Nick's positive timing drove the game (particularly at the end), giving him higher buzz value and score. Brandon missed out on close to a full DD in expectation.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-46, Nov 13, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Buzzing game was Fred's, with $32.4k of attempts and 56% conversion, but Stuart led DD+C +1.23 to -0.29 to -0.94 and converted that to a lot of DD$.

Statistics for last week's games are loaded up on the site. They each really deserve their own look, but the highlight is the two day final. Those were the two highest contention games in the CWCs so far, and Emily and Jilana both (both!) racked up over 100 attempts across the two games.

J!ometry will be on hiatus for the next week. Might try to get a Clubs review page linked after the contestant slate is announced, but there won't be reliable daily updates until after.

Statistics for Jeopardy! Ep 40-40, Nov 3, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Key: In a sparser DJ rounds, Leah's improved timing allowed her to stay even with Aaron after his DD miss. But the key moment has to be her DD wager, where she picked to go for a surer win if correct and it didn't work.

Based on j-archive data and watching the game, the data loaded into j-ometry for today debits Dave with 1 incorrect buzz that is not reflected in the official box score in the J round.

Statistics for Jeopardy! ep 40-39, Nov 2, 2023: j-ometry.com/game.html?ga... Keys: Emily had leads in all useful stats - $36.6k in attv, 51.9% conversion value, positive timing, the highest solo, and ~1.6 extra DDs found. Converting 2/3 of the DDs for $6800 on top of that is how you lock a game.
