A lot of this will probably end up being wrong, especially since I made a few risky picks. As others have said, I think whoever wins Curie Quarterfinal 1 will be at least finalists on Einstein if not champions. Definitely some great alliances at champs, and Einstein will be amazing.

You guys really shouldn't be counting out the #5 curie alliance. It seems on par with, if not better than, the #8 alliance.

But I agree that those 3 alliances seem to be the best out of all the divisions. The Curie curse has its work cut out for it.

[Anupam Goli]

The entire red side of the bracket at Curie is just amazing. We'll see Einstein level gameplay in the quarters and semis at Curie. I think whoever can make it out of semifinals 1 at Curie will win it all.


Arc:
1 over 8
5 over 4
2 over 7
3 over 6
1 over 5 in 3 matches
3 over 2
3 over 1


Cur:
1 over 8 in 3
5 over 4 in 3
2 over 7
6 over 3
1 over 5 in 3
6 over 2
1 over 6

Gali:
8 over 1
5 over 4
2 over 7
3 over 6
5 over 8 in 3
2 over 3
5 over 2

Newton:
1 over 8
4 over 5
2 over 7
6 over 3
1 over 4 in 3
6 over 2 in 3
6 over 1 in 3

No point in predicting einstein, it's too tough to tell, even if the consensus is curie winning it all. You can't count out the brilliant minds behind the glass.

Archimedes

Seed	Captain	Pick 1	Pick 2	Pick 3	Place
1	399	2056	2175	2834	Semifinals
2	2907	3393	2557	4911	Quarterfinals
3	27	33	334	175	Winners (If they can get past the very strong 6 seed)
4	2137	2067	2959	548	Quarterfinals
5	2590	1625	1477	3467	Semifinals
6	4077	195	20	4265	Quarterfinals
7	503	1538	900	1671	Quarterfinals
8	51	2485	1918	781	Quarterfinals

Number 5 and 6 are also alliances I could see winning the division.

Curie

Seed	Captain	Pick 1	Pick 2	Pick 3	Place
1	254	469	2848	74	Quarterfinals
2	1718	2451	573	2016	Finals
3	2928	2013	1311	842	Semifinals
4	180	125	1323	2468	Quarterfinals
5	118	359	4334	865	Semifinals
6	135	1241	11	68	Quarterfinals
7	3478	177	294	230	Quarterfinals
8	624	987	3476	3015	Winners (If they can get past the extremely strong first seed)

The winner of 1 v 8 will be the winner of the division. Number 5 is also extremely talented and may put a stop to that. 

Galileo

Seed	Captain	Pick 1	Pick 2	Pick 3	Place
1	1756	148	558	3098	Semifinals
2	1153	4488	1318	1218	Finals
3	1730	188	494	1310	Semifinals
4	862	2337	179	488	Quarterfinals
5	67	973	2481	2363	Winners
6	2052	70	3310	3360	Quarterfinals
7	836	1023	225	217	Quarterfinals
8	1717	2122	3683	193	Quarterfinals

Newton

Seed	Captain	Pick 1	Pick 2	Pick 3	Place
1	1678	1114	1640	5136	Winners
2	868	16	340	1592	Semifinals
3	910	846	330	1507	Quarterfinals
4	1986	368	1806	3928	Semifinals
5	2054	314	1511	2283	Quarterfinals
6	971	341	1983	3147	Finals
7	4039	3539	25	1817	Quarterfinals
8	2846	610	1285	3284	Quarterfinals

Einstein

Division	Captain	Pick 1	Pick 2	Pick 3	Place
Archimedes	27	33	334	175	Winner
Curie		624	987	3476	3015	Semifinals

Just noticed I predicted Galileo all correct!
Only 1/4 for Einstein alliances though.

New Einstein prediction:

Curie beats Archimedes
Newton beats Galileo

Curie beats Newton

World Champs: 254, 469, 2848, 74

I wish they'd webcast these matches. Last year they were pretty entertaining, running fake strategies

They just don't want to run into (dare I say it... Einstein 2012) issues again.

Not at all. Huge help to see how the balls are inflated.

With your spinning cylinder shooter, did you see variations in shots based more on cover wear, or inflation? I assume inflation.

I do remember seeing the crazy burnout you did on the zipper at CVR. I was waiting to see flames at any second!

It appears from the stands that the field crew just let some air out...

Not good especially since all four alliances already practiced with them.

[AlecMataloni]

254 just pulled out the secret sauce on 1114 in those first seconds of F1. My friend and I collectively went nuts.
