April Absurdity 2013

could you make a non pdf format as well.

Curie all the way!
Michigan all the way!

We are working on a web interface like a real march madness bracket but unfortunately, we didn’t think of the idea in time and it probably won’t be finished for this year.

Sketch it out and scan it, or do it in MS Paint. I’m sure we won’t mind :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll at least do Archimedes.
But I might do the whole thing. It’ll be in to you guys probably while I’m pit scouting on Thursday morning.
It might also reflect so really, REALLY high hopes on my part :smiley:

Don’t forget to tell other people on your team about it, the more people enter, the more fun it will be!

submitted. Neat idea.

Definitely doing this. It’s a great idea. Since this is just for fun, I’m putting down a bunch of MN teams. :slight_smile:

Submitted. Can’t wait to see how close it is!

You guys need a hand with it at all? I’d love to help out.

Maybe I shouldn’t be lazy and actually write my predictions down. Probably gonna end up inclined to putting Texas teams down…this is going to be good!

Submitted.

EricDross and Wing, looks like you guys got your wish!

In light of the release of the match schedules, if anyone would like to resubmit, they are welcome to. Just title your email “<Your Email>'s resubmission” and also put, after your name in the name field on the PDF, “resubmission”. The 15% bonus before Looking Forward posts still only applies if you get your final bracket in in time.

This is a great idea! I submitted my picks.

Submitted! :smiley:

Just submitted my bracket. It was a lot tougher to do than I expected.

If the stars align right, championships can produce some crazy match ups. I could see an Einstein Finals where almost every disk is drained if things go like I expect them too (which they won’t, of course).

Here is a zip of all the fully compliant brackets that were submitted by email. We should have automatic scoring for the properly formatted pdf brackets and have a team of monkeys transcribing the other ones into pdf. (submitted in person, word document, weird attachment service etc…)

The documents are labeled by the CD username; Joe Ross did a full OPR bracket.

I am surprised by the number of brackets submitted. I thought there would be about 40-50 not 20. Ohh well, better chance for me to win!

I thought it would be more like 100… It’s not as fun when it’s just a few people…
Then again, yay top 20!

lemiant and I had the same championship alliance 2056, 1717, 67. We also agreed on 6 of the other 9 teams on Einstein.

It looks like he and I were the only ones with the same idea.
