There has been some madness.

No one has emerged as a frontrunner. Cindy is ahead with 46/64 points, D’s Mike and Sluggo are next with 45, and Daven and Darlene are right behind with 44. Cindy looked especially prescient, calling the Norfolk upset over Missouri. Duke and Missouri definitely busted most, if not all, brackets. Dave Wheeler is showing his keen basketball chops, getting 34/64 points. Most people are clustered around 40.

Elite Eight Update:  Cindy continues to lead with 70/96 points.  Sluggo is next with 69, then Patrick and Dan McNabney with 67, followed by D’s Mike with 65.  We’re starting to see some bracket stratification!  5ish people are in the low 60’s and could be poised to make a jump with some good Final Four predictions.

Final Four Update:  Wow.  There have been some great games.  Dan McNabney got 3/4 of his Final Four and thus made a jump to 91/128 pts to take the lead.  Next is Cindy with 86, then Patrick with 83, then D’s Mike with 81, followed by Daven and Cindy(again!) with 80 pts.  I’ll update again on Saturday night.

I switched to updating the emails rather than the blog, so sorry for the delay here! The winners for the drawings are Kristin, Festus, and Dufus, receiving 38,19, and 7 dollars, respectively.  For the brackets, Dan McNabney won 87 dollars, Cindy won 43, and Zhonghe won 15.  I will be double checking these points(Patrick was only one point behind Zhonghe) and then I will be distributing the winnings.  Thanks for your participation!
