Bill James "Seedless" Bracket (Another Tournament Game)
I thought to do this too late, but I'm also sharing it with a few Slack channels I'm on and I'll compile if anyone plays into a Google Sheet.
It's based on a Bill James idea from the 80s or something. (Source) You pick one team at each seed line and get points for each round that team advances. Most points wins. It's straightforward and I know we have a tipoff right now of two games now, but I don't think it'll matter much if anyone wants to play along. If not, that's fine too. Quote:

A little late, but I don't know that I've learned anything earth-shattering.
