MB Playoff Roundup – May 10

MB Playoffs – First Round

Today is the final day of Round 1. Winners advance to the quarterfinals beginning tomorrow, while the losers move to the consolation bracket and the 9th place quarterfinals. Round 2 lasts only 8 furious days from tomorrow through next Sunday, May 18.

Notes from Thursday:

  • JP had the highest Thursday point total with 155, some of that coming via Randomized picks from earlier in the round that had been missed
  • Due to that, he has sliced Chris’ lead to just 33, making that a battle again; Doug leads Greg by 49 in the other matchup that is up for grabs
  • Today there are a whopping 346 points available and another 164 points possible
