Just look at the "PPR" column. Add that to what you already have and that's basically the max score you can still get if everything goes right from now on. 160+1760 would be perfect. And mine is bad...

It's easier for people to take a Friday off to travel to games than it is for them to take a Monday and a Tuesday.

Hmmmm. 19 out of 20 so far.
Not perfect, but better than usual.
It won't last.
In the mens by the way ESPN says that of 11.5 milion brackets, there is ONE perfect bracket remaining after 33 games.

ArtBest23 continues to lead at 290. He's down two S16 teams.
rykhala and zeusaphone are at 280. zeusaphone is also down two S16s while rykhala is S16 intact.
Then there's a big glob of people at 270 and on down.

Another question- ok, when I look at my bracket "live scoring" shows up under "in progress". What does this mean and I supposed to click on it.
Thanks

It should show you scores of games currently in progress when you click it.

Since none of your Final 4 teams have lost, you are still in a good position to do well. Of course it also depends on how the other people in the group have put their bracket together, but you still have potential for a lot of points as the point values go up each round. If you picked the National Champion correctly, even if you only got 3 Elite 8 teams and 2 Final Four teams when all is said and done, you could still finish really well, even though you started out slow.
In my men's bracket, like you I have 6 Elite 8 teams left and all Final Four teams still playing, and I have the 3 highest points potential in the group I'm in, even thought I finished near the bottom after the first 2 rounds.
