2023 Bracket Challenge

Since ah23 was slacking... (jk, jk!)

Couple of things:
-I currently have it set to a linear scoring system, as I think that rewards a more broad knowledge of the D3 landscape, but am certainly open to changing to the more traditional exponential if that is the preference of the majority
-I believe I have the bracket set up correctly, but if you notice a match-up seems off please let me know

Should have used the printable bracket from the beginning, quadrants should be fixed now.

To the six people who had submitted already--you will need to resubmit!

I set it up earlier this week and forgot to post it here :cry: I can post the link (the URL is just "2023D3mlax") if you want, or if this one is good to go that works too!

Only major difference I had was exponential scoring - that's how it was last year and is how scoring works for things like March Madness bracket challenges. Linear scoring doesn't really reward picking upsets or deep runs correctly.
