Ok, if nobody else is going to get this started, I will.
(I wonder how many people are still around to submit picks…)
And just to make it more interesting, I’m changing the scoring.
[follow the scoring over on Google Sheets]
Instead of fixing the number of points for each game, I’m letting the market decide: The more people who choose a certain team to win, the lower your reward for picking that team. For example, in the play-in round, you effectively get 1 point to invest in each game. If you pick incorrectly, you lose that point. If you pick correctly, you get your original point back, and the points lost by people who picked the other team get divided equally among those who picked correctly.
It sounds more complicated than it is… think of it like throwing bets in a pot and dividing the pot among the winners.
Anyway, here’s how many points you’re “betting” on a result in each round:
- 1 point for play-in round
- 2 points for round 1
- 3 points for round 2
- 5 points for semifinals
- 8 points for the championship
As the bracket is currently up, post your winner for each games as follows:
