To break tiebreakers, could you add a field for people to predict title game goals (final score, total goals scored or margin of victory?).

Let’s wait to see who is in the final. No sense picking score if some people think Salisbury vs York is happening, and neither team makes the finals.

Current Leaders:
  • 42 points: Bracket, Best Time of Year
  • 41 points: Jumbos
  • 40 points: seven entries
All three leaders had CNU beating RIT in the championship, so...there is almost guaranteed to be a shakeup at the top after today.

Highest Score Potential:
  • 72 points: HungryDutchmen (champ: Union beats RIT), Ballhunt (champ: Tufts beats Union), GeauxTigers (champ: RIT beats Union)
  • 69 points: BUlax (champ: Tufts beats Union)
  • 68 points: three entries
And just for fun (because I'm 99% sure it's a former teammate of mine who doesn't follow DIII anymore)...

Lowest Score and Lowest Score Potential:
  • 22 points: bill mason eats pasta (champ: Bowdoin beats Wesleyan)
Why aren't the seven brackets with York in the F4/in the Finals/winning the title doing better?
  • Because in addition to nailing this York run...they also picked things like SJF/Dickinson/Lynchburg to make the championship game, or St. Lawrence to make the Final Four.

Great breakdown

I am going against my picks today. I want York and tufts. I don’t think York matches up against RIT

This jumbo has no ties to tufts. It’s just for Jimbos jumbos.

My ties are to York.

But I do like the tufts mascot and helmet.

After five rounds of tournament lacrosse, we have two teams remaining in real life...and two brackets remaining in the Extremely Official FanLax DIII Bracket Challenge.

The bracket champion will be either HungryDutchmen or GeauxTigers. They are currently tied for first with 56 points, and they each picked the national championship matchup correctly. Thankfully for all of our sakes, I don't need to come up with some half-baked tiebreaker - they each picked a different team to hoist the trophy next Sunday.
  • HungryDutchmen has Union beating RIT
  • GeauxTigers has RIT beating Union
Second place will be either ESPN8 or '16'. They are tied at 52 points and sit on opposite sides of the championship game (and the 16 points that come with getting it right).
  • ESPN8 has Union beating RIT
  • 16 has RIT beating Union
Third place will also be split by the winner of Sunday's natty. If Union wins I think JeffersonStephens finishes third. If RIT wins, I think Untitled finishes third. If I'm wrong, I will forfeit all my 30th-place winnings.

Bracket Challenge Final Podium

Winner: GeauxTigers (72 points)

Runner-Up: 16 (68 points)

Third Place: Untitled (61 points)
  • All three picked RIT over Union in the national championship
  • Somehow, both the second and third-place brackets were good enough overall to overcome picking St. John Fisher in the Final Four
  • The FanLax Computer finished 24th out of 69 brackets - the rise of Skynet is postponed until next season
Thanks to everyone who filled out a bracket, had fun keeping tabs on this.
