If you happened to look in on the Status Report following the first four games on Friday and your entry happened to be Teardrops on My Bracket, you probably would have been quite please to see that the Status Report had you listed as tied for first place with 17 of 20 correct selections. However, had you changed that sort from Current Points to Possible Score you would probably not be quite as pleased as the sort would have your entry in 124th place! Why the vast difference? Well, take a look at the selected winner. Yes, that’s the Kentucky Wildcats and we all know what happened to them yesterday.
This example underscores the importance of checking the standings using both sorts – and also gives hope to those who think they are hopelessly out of the running. Hey, it’s early yet, and you only earn two points during the first round with the point value progressively increasing with each round. Lots of surprises are certainly in store and the standings can shift dramatically. Everyone still has a chance to win it all!!! Well, unless you had Kentucky winning it all, to be honest.
