Who knew Kristy was such a beast.

(Also, I'm disappointed in all the non-believers

Do people like current scoring format? It's 1,2,3,4,5.

I think in future years we should go fibonacci. 2,3,5,8,13

Sure....

You could also say it's 0,1,1,2,3 or 13, 21, 34, 55, 89

For bracket purposes 2,3,5,8,13 is best and how all March madness brackets with fibonacci scoring are scored.

Could just say exponential (in some way or another) scoring rather than Fibonacci.
Like how Walrus games are scored sometimes. With top-heavy scoring.

so picks of players with score potential >= 29:

player	score	semi a	semi b	winner
kcaw	29	kcaw	d1	kcaw
rtspurs	26	TN	d1	d1
d1	26	TN	d1	d1
xander	25	JM3	d1	JM3
JM3	22	JM3	d1	d1

so if kcaw loses semi a, and you win the final, you and spurs tie for the bracket. kcaw takes the bracket in any other situation

Updated the bracket, but in the predictions tab it isn't showing any points for round 4, so I don't have an updated table at this time and not sure what is up with that.

I tried entering the kcaw/king of nyc as a 76-76 tie and a 76-75 score, no change.

Did nobody get points this round?...

I looked at kcaw's bracket and he picked himself the entire way so he should have got points this round right?

I'm not a bracket guru, I'm just hosting..

Halp....
