Subject: NCAA Brackets after 2 rounds

First let me explain, it's possible to have fewer correct than someone and still have more points, because each game takes into consideration the # of the seed. For example, if you picked #12 Missouri to beat #5 Miami, you got 13 pts. - 1 for the correct answer, 12 for Missouri's seed. The amount of pts. for the correct answer doubles with each round. So if you picked #12 Missouri to win in the 2nd round, you got 14 pts. - 2 for the correct answer, 12 for Missouri's seed. The 3rd round games will be worth 4 pts., the 4th round games worth 8 pts., etc... (plus the teams seed). So it's still possible to make a comeback. Last year came down to the final game (worth 32 pts + the seed)

I'll list the players' name, how many they've picked correctly (out of 48 games) and how many pts. they have.

Mike - 31 right - 167 pts.
Danny - 28 right - 147 pts.
Dennis - 31 right - 143 pts.
Jason - 29 right - 142 pts.
John - 28 right - 125 pts.
Seth - 24 right - 95 pts.

Another thing to consider is who has the most teams still alive in their Sweet 16. I checked everyone's bracket, and here are the number of teams each player has correctly placed in the Sweet 16.

Dennis - 10 of 16
Seth - 8 of 16
Mike - 7 of 16
Danny - 7 of 16
John - 7 of 16
Jason - 7 of 16

Those with all of their Final 4 still alive, include Danny, Dennis, and Jason. Then Mike, Seth, and John have 3 of their Final 4 still alive.
