[Grim Tuesday]

Update to the document: Fixed two copy errors and updated the prize to make it more clear what you've won.


As for time due and scoring, I think those are linked quite well. The scoring system I chose is nearly exponential which means that if a team you've chosen to go deep does, it greatly helps your bracket. Points are barely awarded for picking quarterfinalists correctly compared to picking Einstein bots right. What that means is that honestly, no matter the final seeding, the person with the more correct choices later on will do better. However, it is not completely exponential to make it still possible to win overall on a solid bracket with the wrong winner (s).

Also, you have access to the match schedule Thursday morning so if you really do your homework, you can modify your bracket in the five hours you have.

I'd be willing to talk more about making the deadline something like Thursday midnight but my goal in this was for this to be more of a pre-championships game, to keep us busy while we wait, not one that everyone does Thursday night in their hotel rooms.
