...oh wow, my ESPN account from forever ago actually still works as a MyDisney account.

Also lol ESPN is owned by Disney nowadays. The mental image doesn't fit stereotypes, but big business gonna big business.

Edit: I made my account back when it was on espn.go.com, but it turns out Go.com was always a Disney thing. TIL

Anyway, I'm in. And it turns out I can't even access the bracket yet. I guess I'll do the filling later.

Yeah, the brackets aren't open until this coming Sunday evening - they won't know what teams are automatically in, and therefore which spaces have to be filled by picking teams, until all of the precursor tournaments finish.

And yeah, ESPN had a long and winding road to Disney over the last 20 years, lol. This is why I have like four accounts that work on ESPN now. dry.gif

Well, I made a bracket.

And my calculator has a bunch of "rand(X)" in its entry history, where X is a whole number ranging from 2 to...25 lol. Yeah at least one of my second rounds is funny because at least one of my first rounds is funny.

If I were younger I would have been ashamed of my ignorance. But now I must simply laugh.

If I feel like it I might redo the whole thing using something other than a linear probability distribution. 16 seeds don't have a 1 in 17 record of winning their first round, after all. Quadratic feels like it might be more accurate (than what I have, at least). But that requires me to be unlazy when I've been way too busy in the past couple weeks and don't foresee this pattern letting up.

The fans of what remaster now? huh.gif

Sure, let's roll.

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

Are you in as B-Wick? I recognize all the other names or can work them out from context.
