I might have to wait until the morning to send out an email to everyone. But I did want to congratulate our 2nd round leaders very quickly.

Right now, we have a tie at the top between Carrie Viera and Adam Levine at 520 points. They are followed closely by Kennedy Urban, Charlie Hodgson, Matt Richter, Ann Hawkins, and Carlie Reynolds – who are all just 10 points behind. And 10 people are tied for 8th just 20 points behind. We have a very tight race for this year’s tournament!

In the Upset Pool, Tom Forrest is leading with 213 points. He is followed by Chris Franklin (211), Adam Levine (204), Taylor Early (200), and Debbe Evans (197).

The Lunatic is hanging around – he is in a large group tied at 25th – just 40 points behind. With 36 people behind by the total of just one Sweet 16 game, it is still anyone’s game.

But for those of you who already have lost your eventual champion, don’t despair. The Second Chance Pool is available for you – and it is completely free. Just login, enter who you think will win now that we know the sweet 16, and hope that your new picks will do the best!!!!

Good luck to everyone!!!!! And the Lunatic now desperately needs to go back to sleep!
