awesome idea

> Are there any prizes for winning?

I hadn't planned anything, but if the winners join a league that uses
ScoreReport.net for registration and payments I'll give prizes for
both open and womens:
1st place: $25 discount for a ScoreReport.net hosted league.
2nd & 3rd place: $10 discount.

It's probably best that you all assume you're going to win, and
encourage your leagues to consider using ScoreReport.net

Some real interesting choices being made out there. At least 42
people predicted that all 4 teams from Pool B make pre-quarters. And
at least 8 people predicted some teams (besides the pool winners) will
have a bye in pre-quarters.

Many entries were done before the pools were set. (These entries can
still be adjusted.)

There is no prediction of which teams will have a bye in the
prequarters.

You get points for picking which teams will be alive each round of the
brackets:
Prequarters: 2 points x 12 teams (8 in prequarter games + 4 with a
bye)
Quarters: 3 points x 8 teams
Semis: 5 x 4 teams
Finals: 8 x 2 teams
Champion: 13 x 1 team

Ah, yes, the predictions before pools were made are what made people
pick all 4 pool B teams. Even more evidence that pool B is the
toughest of the four!

I know there is no prediction of byes - what I was getting at was that
some people did not choose ANYONE for some of the pre-quarter spots.
The total number of votes for pre-quarters teams was 32 short of what
it should have been (1636 instead of 1668).
