Thanks for flagging. Had an incorrect formula in the spreadsheet that has been corrected. Should be good now, have updated the standings on the previous post.

I will be sure to do a thorough scrub before winners are confirmed at the end of the tournament to ensure acuracy.

Thanks for the contest!
It's been fun.

[ArunSh]

Thought I really had a good chance having picked Iowa, but unfortunately they couldn't pull it out vs Illinois, and then Duke decided to destroy me for second year in a row with an insane choke! Ahh well, was fun to try as always, appreciate the contest!

Yeah tough break there, felt like a good shot. Duke burning people again is brutal. I saw similar lines earlier on Bitcoin-Betting. Still fun either way.

Thanks for this contest, Andy.
Enjoyed it.

[Optional]

Great job goucla

[goucla]

Thanks! I've never had a decent bracket or tournament picks before. Football is usually my wheelhouse. I had all the final 4 teams correct and the championship match up in Kalshi's billion dollar bracket but of course it's nearly impossible to win against millions of people. I'm in the top few hundred, though!

[Patrick9]

Thanks again for the contest!
Lots of fun.

Thanks Andy for all of the cool contests you put up here.
Good Luck goucla ! Hope you get a piece of that Kalshi Bracket Contest. I got cutoff as I was registering for that, but first game tipped and wait til next year.
