					<description><![CDATA[Interesting.

Not to spoil any strategy here, but this is actually a lot more strategic than simply picking brackets. The idea of course, is that you have to not only fill out the most likely bracket outcome, but you have to calculate the average cost of points per win, then select the most efficient combination of teams based on projected victories while also factoring upset potential. Even if a #1 seed won the championship game, six victories at the cost of 130 points is only a marginal success with high risk. You&#039;d have better odds assembling those six victories through another combination of teams.

And that&#039;s all I have to contribute publicly. :) This is fun.]]></description>
