How the field did
50%
58 of 117 picks called correctly.
11 of 31
matches went against the crowd's majority pick — 35% of the tournament.
Final
20% accuracy, against a 38% median across all rounds.
20 of 31
A bracket built from the majority pick in every match would have beaten 100% of the 5 real entries.
The crowd's bracket is complete; most real entries are not.
Accuracy falls with every round by design — calling a quarterfinal means having had the winner survive three earlier matches first. Compare a round against the same round elsewhere, not against the one before it.
