Dispatches from District 48

Our winner was Scott Strattner, congratulations! It was a weird year, obviously. Scott won despite getting only one team right out of the final four, though that was pretty much par for the course this year. Here is the top 10:

I managed to come in 61st, or exactly in the middle. That's actually pretty good since I only got 6 of the sweet-16 right. I lost, though, to every other member of my family.
Here is the top 10 in the bracket challenge after the first week. Sadly, both of my brackets are in the bottom half. Apparently, it is statistically impossible for me to do better than 15th place (thank God for technology so that hope is dashed and I can no longer fool myself about my future chances). Even worse, my son made the top 10. More results here.

It is good to see the President take time out of his busy schedule to submit a bracket in our competition.
