I don't expect us to have Kettch this year so we probably won't have the elimination piece unless someone else can fill in.

my 90 > 00 error is still on the site - no rush, just reiterating

I've wondered, as an intellectual puzzle, if there's a simple algorithm that can determine eliminations without using brute force. If anyone has any ideas how that would be accomplished, I'd love to expore that.

I guess it depends on what you mean by brute force? I don't think it's really possible to calculate unless you have all the brackets at your disposal.

The general formula for comparing one bracket to another is [Deficit] vs [Possible points gained], where deficit is the current difference in point totals, and possible points gained is the number of points represented in the difference in brackets (where points only count if the year picked hasn't lost a match yet). If the deficit is the larger value, you're eliminated.



If ngamer sends me a csv of the finalized brackets, I can run eliminations again - my program should still work with minimal modification for bracket size.

HALF HOURish to lock!

Yeah I'll send Shadow a .csv in like 24 hours after we get everyone's potential entry mistakes/changes fixed. Anyone else can have one as well if they'd be interested in running stats or trying to help find eliminations.

like, brute forcing points is probably not that hard but grouping the brackets together to know when there's an elimination is another thing. I'm not sure if that's done algorithmically or through careful inspection of the data.

There is one error regarding my bracket. I have 2001>2000 in the semifinal, not 2000>2001 as the site shows.

I guess DpObliVion gets to be in my sig now. His knowledge of video game popularity contests far surpasses my own.
