    The world is slowly healing...there's actually going to be a tournament this year! My entry is in but I still haven't seen an option in any bracket to pick COVID over Kansas to take them out in the early rounds.

    Good luck everyone!
    19 entrants, I think we should have four winners:
    4th: 1 box
    3rd: 3 boxes
    2nd: 4 boxes
    1st: 7 boxes

    Was worried about Houston but now I'm thinking maybe the Bears could actually beat the Zags(or UCLA if that miracle happens).

    If I can sneak into 4th place, I'm gonna owe Jalen Suggs a beer.

    Congrats @landrewg on the win. I’ll take second place for second time in a row.
    @William_Navidson I believe that only adds up to 15 boxes when totaled
    “19 entrants, I think we should have four winners:
    4th: 1 box
    3rd: 3 boxes
    2nd: 4 boxes

    Correct. I was exempting the first four winners from sending a box. However, now we have an issue I didn’t foresee which is a tie for 4th... I’m inclined to give the edge to mccooly given their closer tiebreaker guess, but if there’s a better way to determine please let me know. Worst comes to worst I can send a box to both of them.

    Yeah, my brain was mush from driving to and from St Louis yesterday. It looks like the tiebreaker is the total of each person's final championship score added together. Whoever is the closest to the actual score totals for both teams added together wins the tiebreaker.

    That's really generous of you, thanks!

    All -- Be on the lookout for box assignments going out soon. And just as a courtesy, try to get your assignment out by the end of April at the latest, and that an entry is at least 66oz of out-of-distro beer (please aim for those rated 90+ on BA or 3.8+ on UT). If you have any questions, please let me know!

    lol math is not my strong suit. even with your generous offer, we're one box "short" in that we have one less person sending a box. I think the most equitable solution here is to have the "tiebreaker loser" for 4th place not send or receive (not much of a win, but not much of a loss either), which would even it out -- if anyone has other suggestions though please feel free to suggest!

    As apparently the person in question, I'm OK with sitting things out if it'll make things equitable for everyone else. It looks like the person you assigned to me is in my backyard anyways. Only other thing I can think of is if @Mcooly wants to just swap boxes between us but only if that doesn't throw things off for everyone else (and assuming @Mcooly is on board).
