Ready for the weekend?

The upsets have been plentiful (not so hot now, Big East, eh?) and the games have been close.

In our league, the first and last place teams are separated by (only) 9 points. Not too shabby!

There was a lot of movement in the standings on Friday:

Will capped off the first round with an impressive score (26/32) to take the lead and knock Minnie (23/32) down to third with Kate and Keeley.

Boombali Chuck hangs on to second with a solid 24 correct picks.

John and Drew hang steady with 22 points; Tom, Alex, and Limp Wrist Scooter stagger towards the weekend with 21, 20, and 17 respectively.

And yet the fate of the Farrell medal hangs in the balance.

Onward!!

Standings after round 1

Day 1 in the books. For some it was a good day. For others, not so much:

A strong showing from the elder states(wo)man as Minnie (13 /16) leads the family and Chuck, John, and West-Coast Landes representative, Keeley, scored 12/16 correct picks.

Nolan (Rich?) and Kate are in with 11/16; Alex and Pretty bird Tat (Tom?) are sitting, er, pretty with 10/16.

Fear the... (Drew?) is at 9/16 and Limp Wrist Landes rounds out the group with 7/16.

If y'all "hid" your emails I have no idea who you are so speak up now. We need to praise and ridicule equally.

Round 2 starts....NOW!

BRACKETS, Y'all
