Scores so far

So here are the scores after the first division and a half. If you are on the lower side, don't worry, it's early in the tournament, and it just might mean that you haven't had some of your lower seeds compete yet. Right now having a lower seeded album upset a higher seeded one means big points for you. Having a high seeded album win doesn't do all that much for you. Eric is winning right now, but this can all change very quickly.

Eric: 89
Andrew: 82
Andy: 73
MVB: 63
Kevin: 53
Jeff: 44
Brian: 33
Karl: 30
Sarah: 28
Jane: 24
Bruce: 23
Steve:19
Dwight: 9

For those of you interested, here is how the scoring works: Each of your albums that wins in each round is worth a different amount of points: 2 for the first round, then 3 for the second, continuting 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and 55 respectively. These numbers are "fibonacci" numbers, which makes this tournament slightly more like The Da Vinci Code, and therefore even more cultish. They also work well for making sure that later rounds aren't worth astronomically more than the first rounds (I'm pretty sure math-boy will back me up on this).

In addition to the points for the round, you receive points based on the seed of your album. In order to do this, I am simply multiplying the seed # by the round #. So in round 1, you get 32 points if you're 32 seed takes down a number 1 seed. In the second round, you will receive 64 points if your 32 seed wins again.

As I mentioned before, the winner will receive some sort of gift card. Now, let's get those next picks in!
