The sim assumes that the players who stand to benefit from an X-1-2 cut will attempt to force one. In this case, it assumes Ryan, Cooper, James, and Thomas, all 7-1-0 or better after round 8, will always ID their next two rounds to maximize the odds of a 7-1-2 cut. (3/4)

I've started tracking how my simulator pans out against the actual results of 2027's regionals. Below are the results so far. Baltimore Juniors might stand out. It had a 76% chance of 7-1-2 cut prior to the tournament, but ended up with a 7-2-1 cut. (1/4)
