So the Parity playoffs are upon us and you know Hadrian's going to break it all down with fancy stats and analysis and predict the outcomes with little more accuracy than a coin flip!

Think you can do better? (Of course you can - at least half the time anyways.)

Get in on the Parity Bracket Challenge: https://forms.gle/heEcU3c2nWhQSYG28

Pick 'em however you like and let's see who the best analyst really is!

Prize(s): TBD - though Jon Rowe is on record offering a bottle of wine to anyone with a perfect bracket.

Deadline to enter is 19:00 Monday, 8 April.

Entries are all time-stamped, so even when I forget to flip the switch, we'll know.

My first bracket challenge. I have as much faith in my picks as I do in my scoobers. So many manila envelopes on the beach. I was initially flummoxed (correct use of word) until Chris pointed out that if I was to read the instructions ("Justine, you are obviously a teacher because you didn't read the instructions.") I would see the link to handy google spreadsheet that made it so much easier. Thanks, I look forward to chicanery, the fix and zero bottles of wine needing to be purchased.

Thanks for setting this up, Geofford!

Every March, Berkshire Hathaway employees have the are opportunity to submit a March Madness bracket in the company pool. It costs nothing, but anyone who has a perfect bracket wins $1million per year for life. The odds are so infinitesimally small that the prize is safely unwinnable. 

Let's just say the odds of beating this Parity bracket are just slightly better, and the prize just slightly worse...
