under “standings,” what does the number in parentheses after the champeen pick for each person mean? it doesn’t match “best score”

//laffing quietly to meself

I think it’s what you picked for the combined score for the championship game. It’s used to break a tie.

oh, silly me. thanks.

i’d forget my own name if it wasn’t printed on my underwear!

Your name is Hanes?

victoria secret.

Ha! Should have guessed.

i spoke too soon! MABE NEXT YEAR SKEK

I just want to take this second to say “woo hoo. I am #1!” Because, it isn’t going to last long since I have the lowest possible points remaining.

I think I may have been the only player who picked Villanova to win it all.

Great.

I’m ecstatic that MSU overachieved and won their game, but I have UVA going to the Championship game, so bye bye bracket and 2nd place.

just the best scores alone won’t tell me if someone is out of the running to win.

just to pick on somebody at random … lucretius’s best score possible is 126. suppose lucretius gets the rest of the possible picks rite and gets 126. that doesn’t tell me how pooflady scored in that scenario. pooflady may score higher than 126; pooflady may score lower. if pooflady scores higher than lucretius in every remaining scenario then lucretius is already out of the running.

Sorry. This is off of CBS, so it’s the best I can do. According to your scenario, no one (nobody) is out of the running.

i thought there mite be somebody out of the running, we just don’t know b/c we are too lazy to go through each possible scenario and figger out everybody’s score in each. but a computer could do it. ought to be able to do it. if cbs programmed it to figger it out.

You’ll have to talk to CBS.

imma just a no one. jqubed, otoh, is a highly esteemed something or other in the broadcast industry.
