Time to brush up on your braketology!
- Thread starter cydoge
- Start date
This year seems like the best year to risk this kind of thing, gonna be a really fun unpredictable tournament!
I usually do as I'm filling out my bracket after the games are played. Sometimes I even get those wrong though.
Someone is going to create the 9000000000000000000 possibilities using some sort of algorithm. Hell, Ill give it a try.
I'm guessing that they'd have some way to limit entries. Perhaps a valid email address. Not that this prevents you from doing this, but it'll add another layer of complexity to your algorithm.
I am not a math person by any means, but I was thinking of ways to do this as well. I mean, you could look at the history of the tournament based on seeding and do some probability to limit the options..but, then again, all it would take as one 16 beating a 1 and it could throw it off.
It's all good until someone has a dang near perfect bracket going into the final four and they offer one of the coaches half a billion dollars to throw the game.
Sounds like we're all on the same page. Let's make this work.
That's a good point, you could probably get rid of a decent sized chunk with the 16 seeds. But as you said, as soon as you do that, they go and win the whole damn thing.
You'd think there are CompE professors all across America today setting this very thing up as a senior project.
What are the odds of a perfect NCAA tournament bracket?
