We have co-leaders in the Standard Pool, and neither of them are named Brent Peterson (he has slipped to 12th place – a constant reminder to me of how it is perfectly possible to be tremendously good at picking the games, but if you end up having a bad round in the Elite 8, Final 4, and Championship, it can quickly slip away).
Those leaders are Patrick Booth and Rebecca Shipp – who both correctly got Kentucky and Connecticut of the Final 4 to take the lead. The are followed closely by Cooper Ams (40 behind), kyn8iv (40 behind – apparently as much as I try to get names, I still end up not knowing at least one of the leaders), Harold Ingram (50), Rob Bradley (50), Bill Gemmill (70) and Elizabeth Kinzie (70).
In the upset pool, Logan Horgan has taken the lead with 273 points thank to picking Kentucky. Our potential 2 year old champion is followed by Deborah Waite (10 pts), Rob Bradley (14), Cooper Ams (24) and Brent Peterson (31).
And in the Second Chance Pool, we have a 6 way tie for the lead at the top. Bill Gemmill, Cooper Ams, Elizabeth Kinzie, Jan Palmore, Joshua Lacks and Michelle Ams all are tied at 400 pts.
Good luck to the few of you who still have the chance to make ground in the pool (or for those of you hoping that the upsets will continue so you can stay on the leaderboard.
