VHTRC March Madness Tournament Contest
2009 Final Results
Here are the scores for the 2009 VHTRC March Madness contest. We have listed picks for the "Selection Committee" so you can see how the tournament goes in relation to the official seedings. The Selection Committee is not considered in the data on how the teams were rated. Remember, low score wins.
We have added the picks of the President of the United States. There was some judgment involved in this since he did his brackets differently than we do it. We did give him a big break because when we translated his picks, Maryland had somehow beaten the Golden Bears. We gave Cal a 16 on the President's picks. You are welcome, Mr. President!
