Well, I'd assume Ngamer will probably continue letting people submit their brackets until the first matches of round 1 begin. The Wildcard matches are all expected to be blowouts anyways.

Assuming 98 wins. I understand it's got the best odds. But if I have even a 1% chance of being right, it gives me better odds than all the '98 people.


You not only have to assume 1998 won't win but also figure out which year actually does win, which is the real crapshoot.

This is basically a "Tiger vs. the field" argument in golf. The field technically has better odds, but you have to narrow it down to one here.

Yes, but I took one of the years that wasn't accounted for (which is practically everything besides 98 and 01.) Now it's up to everyone else to cover the rest, assuming you truly believe any year could win. Realistically, there aren't too many others that even have a chance, so as long as somebody on B8 backs each one, the contest doesn't turn into a repeat of the last one, where nobody on the board picked the winner.

We're hopefully smart enough to consider all the angles when it comes to rally potential (or whatever might happen in this one, which will probably not involve a rally.)

You can consider all the angles, but it's still a total guess which year if any gets a rally, which is why I don't like to base my bracket on it.

Which is perfectly reasonable, but I'd rather make one bold call and be right than have to get every single match correct just to not get eliminated.

7 risks huh? Knew there would be a few, as I spent about 3 mins entering my bracket on the first day and didn't look at it again (except to lower my tie breaker - probably by too much).

Also damn after my changes I am still up for elimination on 1985 v. 1987 it looks like. Oh well I guess I'll get the experience of either being the first eliminated or the first to eliminate someone, so there's that.

Nope, looks like PumpkinCoach gets eliminated by ffmasterjose from the second match today (or the other way around if results change). Their brackets are identical after this. May be others (6 people tipped '83), but that was one elimination I spotted, due to the low number of risks.

Well shit, looks like jacko has an identical bracket to me, and he went low on the tiebreaker while I went high.

I hope he wins, because prize money for me is still always good.

In Round 2, I have 2003 > 2005. I think I meant to copy my bracket over from Board Odds and change that, but forgot to >_<
