Bracket update

Now that the first two rounds of the NCAA men’s Division I basketball tournament are finished (well, technically it’s the first three rounds, but it will take me awhile to get used to this new set-up), here’s an update on our brackets.

Chris added our brackets to the nearly 6 million on ESPN’s Tournament Challenge. He also helped Karen with a bracket for her pool at work, so we included her in our group. The percentile and rank refer to how we compare against the other contestants in ESPN’s contest.

Chris
430 points
85.4 percentile
862,311 rank

Teresa
420 points
78.0 percentile
1,305,406 rank

Karen
420 points
78.0 percentile
1,305,406 rank

Avery
170 points
0.3 percentile
5,906,300 rank

Chris, Karen and I still have our champions in our brackets, although we’ve lost some Elite Eight teams. But poor Avery lost 14 of her Sweet Sixteen teams and three of her Final Four teams. But this is only her first attempt. I’m sure some time in the future, she’ll start beating us with her choices!
