Down To The Last Four Teams

 As of now, we have two participants who have yet to submit payment for their brackets. Both are newcomers to our office pool this year and will unfortunately be removed this year and future years if they fail to pay their entry fee by Friday.  

As it stands, we are currently short $40, and I may need to make adjustments to the payout structure or use my personal winnings to cover the shortfall.

In the latest standings update, there are some years where selecting the higher seeds is the way to go. Who would have guessed we'd end up with no #1, #2, or #3 seeds in the Final Four, which has busted the brackets for everyone except for seven pick sheets. Only UConn has the potential to score points for those seven pick sheets. 

If UConn loses on Saturday, the standings stay the same, and tiebreaker points will be used to determine 1st, 3rd, and 5th place.

Here are the current standings with tie breaker points in brackets:

1. Cort Lundeen 3 - 100 Points (142)
2. Dominic Fortuna - 100 (155)
3. Steve Cuddihy 3 - 99 (159)
4. Steve Cuddihy 4 - 99 (161)
5. Steve Cuddihy - 97 (160)
6. Steve Cuddihy 2 - 97 (160)
7. Paul Wolson 2 - 97 (140)
8. Scott Johnson - 97 (128)

If UConn wins both on Saturday and Monday, then the standings will change to this:

1. Court Lundeen 3
2. Steve Cuddihy
3. Hunter Oien
4. Steve Cuddihy 2
   
5. Cort Lundeen 2
6. Dominic Fortuna

On the other hand, if UConn only wins one game and loses on Monday, things will get a bit more complicated in the standings, but it should be a combination of the two above outcomes.
