In, and in. WTF does "Best Score" mean and why is Aske already in the lead?

I'm guessing that Aske is in the lead because of alphabetical sorting. Best score looks to be the highest possible score one can get based on their picks assuming all remaining games go their way. Since the seeds come into play in the point scoring, it looks like Aske picked several upsets or worse seeds to go far. Best score can be really useful when one of your final four picks gets eliminated in the second round, and you can determine how much you're really out of it.  |

About time you figured out how to do that.   You're not playing?  Eagle's going to have bragging rights in the household? |

IIRC, Best score is exactly how you described it. It is nice to see what your potential best score is as your teams are getting knocked out left and right.  |

You're not playing? Eagle's going to have bragging rights in the household? Maybe I will, since I beat her every year. I've beat you several times with the bracket picks, buster, and you'd do well to remember that! However, your track record for the drawings done at the Nature Center was uncanny. 4 consecutive years he enters a random drawing, and 4 consecutive years he wins the thing! |

Well, I did my picks, and I didn't know anything. Stroh is originally from Flordia, so I picked Florida. My daughter's name is Georgia, so I picked Georgia State. Spacey's from Utah, so I picked Utah etc, etc. I wonder how I will go!! |

I had entered, too. I think there were at least a CC to CCC more, too. |

I'm in. Well, you already knew that. Now I'm working on the brackets. How much do you think I will over-think them?

Got my picks in and I'm behind Aske. Not as many upsets but a few. Should be interesting to see what happens.
