And five to eight games is not that big of a sample size. Most people played between five to eight games. I just thought, ‘I can’t control them and if somebody is really an expert in some area, I’m probably not going to become more of an expert than they are.’ I just have to worry about me and how I’m going to play and I think that was the right thing for me to do … I also think for me it’s a little different because I played so many games. I didn’t really do much research about anybody. I looked at when they played and how many games they won. As soon as I found out I was going to be on the show, which was in December of last year, I got more diligent about watching so I had seen a handful of people when they were on … I really didn’t go back and study people, I didn’t try to track down the tapes. ![]() What better way to start Monday than with these 3 contestants in the #TOC2014.

But when you’re at the tournament, everyone knows what they’re doing, everyone’s really confident, everybody won quite a few games or won a tournament in the case of the teacher from the College Champions’ tournament and so it’s a little different. I knew what was going on, I kind of had my groove. You know the ropes, like I had a good rhythm with the buzzer and everything. You can’t count on other people not knowing what they’re doing which is a slight advantage to returning champions during regular play. ![]() The tournament is a different format than regular play since there’s a wildcard component to the quarterfinals if you don’t win, which I didn’t (the first day) there’s still a chance to advance with a high enough score. The interview, which has been condensed, is below: Did your strategy change at all? And how different is it playing in the tournament? ![]() She spoke to For The Win about her strategy, wardrobe change and more. She’s playing against some of the most well-known recent contestants, like Arthur Chu, the winner of the College Tournament and more.
