How the field did
51%
281 of 552 picks called correctly.
11 of 22
matches went against the crowd's majority pick β 50% of the tournament.
Semifinal
25% accuracy, against a 38% median across all rounds.
11 of 22
A bracket built from the majority pick in every match would have beaten 99% of the 76 real entries.
The crowd's bracket is complete; most real entries are not.
Accuracy falls with every round by design β 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.
