Add me to the list. I don't have anything worthwhile to do.

It looks like all the usual suspects have gathered!!!

Folks, we're ready to roll however the format has changed since last year.

Instead of posting directly to a thread, we are going to take submissions through a form. This will standardize the responses and dramatically reduce the chance of any errors, as well as the time required to "mark" the entries.

Please see the competition information page for specific details and a link to the form.

I recommend you download and use our printable bracket as a "scratch copy". It will make your form easier to fill out. MAKE SURE YOU DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ENTRIES!

I would appreciate if folks would let me know of any errors you find.

Bump.

Let's go folks. You've got just over 24 hours to get your brackets in! See the first post in this thread for details!

might be interesting, but there's no way I get this done before the playoffs start...i don't get back to vegas before Sunday......I'll be checking in....

I'm not sure if this has been covered yet, but the error for tie breakers should be calculated like so:
Predicted outcome between T1 and T2:
P_T1 to P_T2
Actual outcome:
A_T1 to A_T2
Error
|P_T1-A_T1|+|P_T2-P_T2|

That way, in the example the error from the SAS-SAC round would be 1, not 0.

So, we finally find a use for absolute values.

I am totally lost on the P_T1 and P_T2? Can you explain it to me with the team names?

lmao. I thought it was just me.

The way you have it is fine, Roscoe. It's already the same as what Wingspan is suggesting. He's talking about getting the total error from the SAS-SAC series in one calculation, and what you have is separate numbers for SAS and for SAC that are added together at the end, so it's all the same.

Roscoe already has absolute values in his original tiebreaker explanation.
