Those are with just the UCLA - Cincy game to go. Should be accurate, but I updated all games today quickly.

Did we ever decide what the payment breakdown would be after only having 11?

Do point numbers seem higher this year? Is that a
product of 11 teams? Or higher scores?

Some of those might be a few points off, as I see I made multiple corrections after lol. But still fairly close, a little higher this year.

264 last year with 5 players left... 259 this year with 8 players left. At least I'm consistent. Damn I suck.

Not sure I've ever been even top half of this thing. Yet, in regular season fantasy, worst finish is I think 4th lol.

How do you figure your projections on the spreadsheet? Just by seed?

Pretty sure it's by True Seed rank. 1-2 projected for 6 games, 3-4 for 5 games, 5-8 for 4 games, etc.

And yeah, I don't think I've ever won a single category doing the Tournament Pick Em, lol. Hopefully Frank Mason III can get me something this year.

This, plus if the last game wasn't a "0" for a seed who wasn't projected to win, it projects him for another game. Only part it can't figure out is in these rounds like Wisconsin plays Florida...it projects both for only that game. Next year I might factor in the true seeds into the bracket, and add a cell for next games, and whether a lower seed should win or not. Wouldn't eliminate that issue totally, but would give at least a 2 game out projecting that's accurate. As of now, basically just projects all higher seeds to win all games, and if there is an upset that team to play just the 1 next game...

Also fucks up if a player has a 0 but they win. It's happened a few times over the years, but not enough for me to care enough to fix ahah. It corrects itself when they eventually score the next game.

Cool

Edit:. Wait, I should have had 26 for Frank Mason III, that's not in there correct? Pretty sure I was at 276 before.

If Kennard hadn't been a little bitch, and Duke won, I'd have a shot. Oh well.
