Only 2 days remain in Round 2 as it comes to a close on Saturday. With busy days today & tomorrow and 4 head-to-head events (D-III Men’s Golf, D-II & D-III Women’s Golf & the Preakness Stakes) all 4 quarterfinals are still up for grabs. All 4 consolation quarterfinals are foregone conclusions at this point.
Notes:
- D-III Men’s & Women’s Golf conclude today; D-II Women’s Golf ends and the Preakness Stakes is run on Saturday
- There are 96 points available and 112 possible today
- Saturday is a big ticket day with 468 points available and another 176 possible
- The two-day points remaining total is 564 definitely available and other 288 possible, meaning even in the matchups where there is currently a large disparity, the door is still open for comebacks

With busy days coming today, tomorrow & Saturday and 4 head-to-head events (D-III Men’s Golf, D-II & D-III Women’s Golf & the Preakness Stakes) all 4 quarterfinals are still up for grabs. All 4 consolation quarterfinals are foregone conclusions at this point.
Notes from Round 2:
- The D-III Men’s Golf tournament involved a cut after yesterday’s 2nd round which will take some of the drama out of one of the tight matchups through the first two days
- There is not cut in either the D-II or D-III Women’s Golf events
- At this point, the higher seed leads in only 5 out of 8 head-to-head events excluding MegaBot, although it seems that the Randomizer was likely used in some of those 8 matchups
- There are 112 points available and another 56 possible today

MB Playoff Roundup – May 10

Today is the final day of Round 1. Winners advance to the quarterfinals beginning tomorrow, while the losers move to the consolation bracket and the 9th place quarterfinals. Round 2 lasts only 8 furious days from tomorrow through next Sunday, May 18.
Notes from Thursday:
- JP had the highest Thursday point total with 155, some of that coming via Randomized picks from earlier in the round that had been missed
- Due to that, he has sliced Chris’ lead to just 33, making that a battle again; Doug leads Greg by 49 in the other matchup that is up for grabs
- Today there are a whopping 346 points available and another 164 points possible

MB Playoff Roundup – May 9
Posted: May 9, 2013 Filed under: MB 2013 | Tags: MB Playoffs Leave a comment »MB Playoffs – First Round
Only 2 days remain in the first round of the playoffs and just one matchup remains that is with 100 points.
Notes from the week so far:
- Greg scored the most points from Monday-Wednesday with 152, gaining 16 on Doug and pulling back to within 48
- The next smallest leads are Chris with a 140-point lead on JP and Ryan with a 152-point advantage over mxknkl
- 140 points are available and another 24 are possible on Thursday
- On Friday, Round 1 ends in wild style with 346 points available and another 164 point possible
- A reminder that Round 2 will be more of a sprint as it lasts just 8 busy days from Saturday, May 11 through Sunday, May 18 (Round 3 also lasts only 8 days due to MegaMay)

| JP’s point accumulation has slowed to a crawl and it appears at this point that Chris will escape the first round challenge and head for a date with skizzow in Round 2. Chris actually has the 2nd lowest point total of any fully conscious human being (sorry, Bred). However, the lowest point total is that of JP. Like all of the bracket competitions we pick, the MB playoffs are all about matchups. | ||||

MB Playoff Roundup – May 6
Posted: May 6, 2013 Filed under: MB 2013 | Tags: MB Playoffs Leave a comment »MB Playoffs – First Round
We have hit the final 5 days of Round 1 and now have just 2 matchups within 100 points.
Notes from the weekend:
- Chris put up the biggest point total of the weekend (440), turning a 68-point deficit into an 88-point lead over JP with 5 days to go
- abittner was the only other user to top 400, adding 428 points and extending to a commanding 208-point edge over tonewil
- Doug increased his advantage over Greg by 24 to 64, but the matchup is still to close to call
- 0 points are available Monday and only 12 are possible on Tuesday
- 4 NCAA championships begin on Wednesday raising the stakes – 142 points will be available and another 68 possible

MB Playoff Roundup – May 2
Posted: May 2, 2013 Filed under: MB 2013 | Tags: MB Playoffs Leave a comment »MB Playoffs – First Round
MegaMay has begun! Business picks up considerably over the next couple of weeks as Round 1 ends May 10 and Rounds 2 & 3 are complete by May 26. Also, for those of you trailing in your matchups, there are still a ton of points remaining in Round 1.
Notes from Wednesday:
- 52 points were available Wednesday
- Bristol had a perfect night, scoring all 52 points while tonewil racked up 48
- abittner leads tonewil by just 36 while Doug holds a 40-point edge over Greg in the 2 closest matchups
- 56 points will definitely be available Thursday while another 36 could potentially be awarded
