I just noticed - I have 2000 beating 1996 on my bracket but the guru website has 1996...

I'm not eliminated if 91 loses? Wow. I guess if 88 wins the bracket I don't end up too far behind, so mathematically I suppose it's technically correct...

on the line already?! It's a good thing 2010 has almost no chance of winning tomorrow, but I will feel mighty foolish if it does...

I still need my guru to change to reflect having 2015 winning its first two rounds.

Looks like you live for awhile longer.

We'll be watching you, though!

I'm not dead in Guru but RIP perfect bracket, I decided to give the tiniest bit of trust in recent years and picked 2010

Part of that is that there are six other guru brackets identical to mine

I'm all for giving recent years some credit...but against the combined power of Metroid Prime and Kingdom Hearts?

Then again I have 2011 > 1994 (one less bracket--no idea what I was thinking lol) so who am I to talk.

Seems you haven't seen the match picture yet.

So I get one elimination. Feels good!

Nothing personal, though...

Anything below the triple tildes for a given outcome is a conditional elimination, where one (or more) of the listed players finishes ahead in the best possible case.

I uploaded the program output for today to github, since it's a pain to write out scenarios this time with so many conditional eliminations.
https://github.com/andrew-howes/Guru2k17/tree/master/1994-2004_and_2006-2011
neighbors is the standard points/deficit/gain summary, spotcheck is the deep dive into who wins for each combination of wrong matches.
---

Has anyone seen my 2015 requests? Sorry to keep asking
---

Can we just take a minute to appreciate that on the 8th day of the contest there were so many brackets on the line you needed two pages to list all of the possible eliminations?
---

aww yeah not on the list

because i will probably be eliminated the day after
---

Come on 2006! I got to score my first elimination!
---

oh man I have a lot of spreadsheets to update tomorrow
---

I get to eliminate someone no matter what happens.

@INCEPTlON I already changed it, unless I did incorrectly
---

2011/2006 could potentially go either way now based on that 20 vote cut earlier.

Someone should post the Guru eliminations today based on the result of the 2011/2006 match.
---

good bye world

2004 you suck, both real life wise AND guru wise
---

@NewerShadow I updated CasanovaZelos bracket 2000 beating 1996

should he still be eliminated from yesterdays match?
---

losing my perfect bracket on my first risk....*sigh* bet the exact cookie cutter bracket wins. this is all bracket votes.

Yes, I've been keeping up with the change requests in my local copy.

Im about to make it

perfect bracket on the line of elimnation for my first risk lol wtf
---

I voted against my bracket twice today. Feels awkward when the second match is so close.

13 or 15 eliminations depending on how 11/06 goes. But hey, it's nice to finally have something that isn't an automatic.

If people legit like one over the other voting for their bracket is super lame
---

I like how its impossible for me to be eliminated or eliminate someone until 1997 loses.

I haven't shown up in any lists yet, either as eliminated or an eliminator. Buuut with how quickly people are dropping/at risk, I imagine I will be out by the end of the round for my 2013/2015/2016 risks.

To clarify, the people below the tildes are still eliminated (and Extha is eliminated by 2 lines of people), so it's 15 or 18 - it's the scenario from post 93, over 1-3 matches.
---

shoot, i just realized that if i miss the 06/11 match i probably can't eliminate anyone even if 2016 wins.
---

Finally, we've got a real match on our hands. Gooooo 2011!
---

Go go 2011! Keep my bracket perfect!
---

So if 2011 wins and 2016 loses, I'll be #1? (For a day - not likely both 13 and 15 win)

...I'll believe it when I see it.

nvm, i live to fight another day. thanks 2011

I've been playing with data. of the folks who picked 2011, ZeldaTPLink looks the best.

for those with 1991 and 2001 getting to 1998, Dragon66116 looks the best - his only risks are 2015 winning two rounds. I'll revisit this after we see the 03 and 05 matches as those will tell a lot.

Cool. Never thought I would one day get good at those contests.

Basically I need to bank everything on Cloud.

And pray the rest goes cookie.

Geez, had I signed up, I'd be one of the few people with a perfect bracket after today.
---

Oh hey finally a Risk paid off
---

Didn't realize that I was already eliminated from Guru.

That has to be my fastest elimination ever.
---

So many years... so many bad brackets and low finishes... and finally, finally, FINALLY for what I believe is the first time ever I get a KO.
