Entering the Sweet 16, there are a lot of top teams still left in the tournament – which should mean there are lots of different opportunities for movement in the Lunatic standings next week.  But lets congratulate the people who made the best picks in the first weekend of the tournament.

We have co-leaders at this point in the tournament – Brody Atkinson and Jocelyn Knox have a 20 point lead in the Standard Pool with 570 points.  In a tie for third place at 550 points are John Woodburn, Ethan Busby, Ian Berglund, Sam Brunner, and Brad Harding.  And in a tie for 8th at 540 points are Earl McKnight, Matt Richter, Kyle Kelly, Rob Nesbitt, and Lehua Martin.  And we have 13 more players within 40 points (or one Sweet 16 winner) of the lead.

In the Upset Pool, Jocelyn Knox is in the lead alone at 232 points.  Dave Evans is in second at 223 points.  There is a tie for 3rd at 221 points between Sam Brunner and Michael Cheung.  And John Woodburn and Tanmay Gautam round out the standings tied for 5th at 217 points.

Did you pick too many upsets (like the Lunatic did)?  Don’t despair.  Because there is always the Second Chance Pool!!!!!  The second chance brackets are up on the site – all you need to do is login to your account and click on the Second Chance Bracket link.  And it is completely free – there is no reason not to do the Second Chance Pool – it is complimentary as part of the Lunatic pool, because everyone deserves a second chance.

Good luck to everyone in Stomping the Lunatic!!!!!!
