How rude!
Your protest has been reviewed and your protest was unsuccessful. Also as a result of an unsuccessful protest the board has decided to issue @Flopalopagus a financial penalty which it TBD as well as the loss of 2 draft picks in the summer draft. This is clearly written in the league bylaws in section 6 article 7 line 9.Btw - I’m protesting my loss in the elite 8 round with the PCFAA board. @Nuhockey, the refs missed a critical foul call on my cards at the flip that would have sent me to the free throw line giving me two additional cards and a significant chance to win or at least sen it into double ot!

My Bracket was blown up a few rounds ago. I have Michigan winning, but my other Final four teams were St. John’s, Houston, and Gonzaga. Did have UCONN making the Elite 8.gg @dizzyChipper
Thank goodness for this giveaway … it’s the only thing keeping me interested in bracketology right now as my “real” bracket is busted beyond recognition. Many thanks @Nuhockey !

Good luck to all the Final Four contenders! I’ll see you in Indianapolis.
They win, I win the pool hereMy "official" bracket has Arizona winning it all.
My 2 "scorched earth" brackets have Michigan and UConn winning it all.
Soooo ... I'd like to congratulate the Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois on their impending men's basketball championship.
So right now I use physical decks. When I originally started this thing during the pandemic I used two physical decks. My pattern was a thorough wash before the tournament begins. Then as the tournament starts a quick wash between each battle then 5-6 shuffles then one random cut. The higher seed always gets the first card and the lower seed the second card. I was using an app card called Card Draw for 2 years, but then all of sudden the app didn't work properly on the Iphone so I stopped using it before last years tournament when I couldn't get it to work right. Then I couldn't find a card draw app I liked online or for the phone so back to Physical cards it went last year. Yes when there are a lot of games in the beginning it is a Pain.So, behind the curtain question, how do you do the random draws? Do you let a RNG do the heavy lifting and you just record it in Excel? Or do you sit down with a physical deck of cards? If you actually use cards, are you shuffling/washing between every draw (that's gotta be alot for the round of 64) or do you draw as many games as you can with one shuffle/wash?
Which audit firm do you use to confirm the results? Deloitte & Touche? Price Waterhouse? Ernst & Young? KPMG?
