Updated Leaderboard for round 1 results.
Fun tidbits:
1. There are already no perfect bracket mostly due to the Cubs. for those that did pick the Cubs, they also picked the Royals.
2. The Brewers were 0/4 in picking games in the first round... thank goodness they have the 4 bonus wins! 4/8 sounds a lot better. Look out White Sox, Rays, Astros, and Giants... Brewers picked y'all to win in round 2.
3. The rockies took the biggest hit to their PPR (Points Possible Remaining) losing a 140 potential points due to their bet on themselves. Other than that, the Astros and Padres took a 20 point hit with picking the Royals and Rockies, respectively.
4. Everyone else's powder is dry and have the full compliment of 240 PPR. Everyone also has picked CWS and SF to come out of this round, while Houston and TB are not unanimous, they are the people's favorites to come out of their matchups.
5. Those that believed in LAA to beat hte Royals for the most part believed in them to win this round as well. 4/5 people who picked the Angels to win in the 1st round picked them again in the 2nd. We shall see what happens!
Good luck to the 8 teams remaining in the playoffs!

Updated Leaderboard for the Divisional Round. Here are some quick facts:
1. The Cubs are the only team who still have their full compliment of points remaining as they are the only ones who correctly picked the cubs to move on. No one else has anybody in the current NLCS matchup.
2. After a rough start, the Brewers have the 5th highest potential points. Their champion, (Chicago White Sox) are still in it. The Brewers are joined by the Diamondbacks, White Sox, Dodgers, and Nationals as the people who picked the white sox to win.
3. Padres have the Rays, Giants had the Angels, and everyone else has the White Sox. Giants are out of potential points and will max out at 90. The only way he can avoid last is for a Tampa victory this week. That would mean a 3 way tie for last between the Blue Jays, Astros, and Brewers.
Good Luck to the 4 teams remaining in the playoffs, definitely had some surprises this year and there is still time for more!

Updated for Round 3 results.
1. The winner will either be the Cubs, if the Cubs win it all. If that occurs, he will almost double up 2nd place. (290 to 150). The other possible winner is... the White Sox. That's right, the winner of the World Series will also win the Bracket Challenge. Both teams are guaranteed a tie for 2nd at the very least regardless of results.
2. Giants have gotten last after only getting 1 of the final 7 matchup winners correct and failing to break 100. Padres are right there with him though only scoring ten points more.
Not much else to analyze. Hope y'all have enjoyed the bracket challenge. I will update for the winners next week, and look forward to the next League Prediction Challenge which will occur just before the first week of the season.
Prediction time will occur three times a year: Just before the season starts, Week 10, and the Bracket Challenge. This way we can track how stupid we all are, and how we know nothing Jon Snow.

Final Results Posted. Congrats to the White Sox in winning both the BK Bracket Challenge and the World Series! Be on the look out for a MLB Bracket Challenge once the playoffs are set. Additionally, we will have official preseason predictions closer to the beginning of the season for both BK and MLB to see who is most wrong and can't be trusted.  We had 12 participate this time, but would love to see that increase for the Playoff challenge and preseason predictions next season. |
