Matrix #1 - Initial odds to get any of the 5 payouts

Well, I’ve done it.  I’ve figured out the probabilities to get all 5 payouts this year.  Something I noticed, which shouldn’t be a big surprised – there are way more chances for a tie-breaker deciding things, the further away from the top you get.  If you think of the point distribution as a bell curve this makes sense.  The worse the place, the further away from the tail it is, so the density of the distribution is higher.

It also means that a lot of people are still alive for something.  There are only 35 brackets out of 274 that are mathematically eliminated from all 5 spots.  Here are those unlucky souls:

Adalyn H.

Ali A. #1

Ali A. #2

Amanda R.

Brandie H.

CAAT #1

CAAT #2

D. Mag #4

Daisy N. #11

Damien R. #4

David F. #1

Dianna A.

Elizabeth N. #2

Elizabeth P. #3

Faye N.

Henry A.

Hutch H. #1

Josh C.

Karen C.

Kevin F. #1

Klei R. #3

Mark B.

Mason A. #1

Matt M.

Melissa M.

Moochie #1

Moochie #3

Mustard (Nikolajs B.)

Noah N.

Pete J. #2

Shanky G.

Shawn D.

Stephen C.

Wayne D. #2

Wayne D. #5

For those that are familiar with the matrix, this should all be old news to you, but for those that aren’t here’s the details.  The matrix is the list of probabilities of each bracket to win each of the places.  The percentage listed in the square are the odds for that bracket to win that specific spot.  For instance:

Name

1st Place

2nd Place

3rd Place

4th Place

5th Place

Brad R. - Connecticut

0.0676%

0.0589%

0.0709%

0.0895%

0.0741%

Brad R. has Connecticut winning it all.  The percentages listed are the chances his bracket finishes in that spot.  His overall chances of winning something are 0.3612%, which is the sum of his chances 1st thru 5th.  Ideally, you want this to be 100%, because then you will win something.

So, here is the matrix.  It is sorted by the percent chance of winning something:

Name

1st Place

2nd Place

3rd Place

4th Place

5th Place

I will be sending out eliminations later this week.  Those will tell you that you need a specific outcome of the game in order to stay alive for the place indicated.  If your team loses, you are eliminated.  If your team wins, your odds double.  Fluctuations can happen without eliminating or doubling as well.  Occasionally a game will not effect your odds of winning either way, but with a tournament shaping up like this one is, that seems less and less likely.

For those of you who can still get 1st place, I’ll try to send out who you need to root for in the next round tomorrow.  It will say something like: Bracket Name has 100 scenarios where they finish in 1st place.  Team X wins their next game in 65% of them.  That means you want Team X to win to increase your chances of winning.  If it says 100%, that is a must-win game for you.  You want as few of those as you can get.  The winner of this pool will probably win 6-8 of those types of games this season.  Last year, Charlotte N. ran away with this pool, and even then, she had at least 5 must-win games that she won.

Good luck everyone!!!!!
