Abstract
The majority of brackets are submitted to standard scoring pools without upset incentives. TeamRankings.com reports that about 81% of their bracket-advice customer’s pools use only round-based standard scoring rules (Barzilai 2015). Clair and Letscher (2007) wrote a research paper that presents a method for optimizing the whole bracket for this most common form of bracket pool. Metrick’s method only optimized the champ pick based on simplifying assumptions about earlier round picks.Keywords
