I wrote them several months ago asking for more access to stats and records, but it doesn’t look like they changed anything. I like to go through and see if the teams have already played each other, or if they’ve played a mutual opponent already, and see what the outcome was. If that didn’t happen, or the results were inconclusive, I look at how many players average more than 10 points per game, and also compare top players’ blocks and rebounding statistics. It would be a lot easier to have a computer do that, but I haven’t found an easy way to give a program access to those statistics (I also haven’t looked very hard, and I haven’t really done anything I’d actually consider programming in about 15 years).
Ha, haven’t thought about it yet. I need to do a retrospective on Coder’s Bracket 2016 to figure out what this year’s “improvement” is going to be.
@shawn Last year your bracket won me a lot of monoply money. Please update 2017. I hope you received the Disney shirt I sent ya.
@mfladd I would have won my bracket if only I didn’t make mistakes in filling it out
