Tournament recap

How the field did
50%
474 of 940 picks called correctly.
16 of 31
matches went against the crowd's majority pick — 52% of the tournament.
Semifinal
17% accuracy, against a 33% median across all rounds.
15 of 31
A bracket built from the majority pick in every match would have beaten 97% of the 58 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.
