Does anybody watch the Tournament of Champions to see how much players are
going to bet in Final Jeopardy? (As I think of it, the wagers in the first
game of a two-game final are the ones that I'm least likely to figure out
in advance, so that's arguably more entertaining.)

I understand that there are extenuating circumstances in trying to put
together this particular tournament. But, generally speaking, if you have
three players who you consider the class of the field, that's the
convenient number to put into a tournament (of whatever format) without a
lot of unnecessary preliminaries.
