candidates resort to bracketology to settle score

Unable to reach a decision on how to (or not to) seat Michigan and Florida delegates at the convention rival camps have decided to use the outcome of March Madness to determine the process. Candidates will fill out a bracket with scoring as follows --each round worth a total of 32 points, points for each round awarded proportionally based upon wins for that round. Final score is the sum of all the rounds. There are 6 rounds, therefore a total of 192 points is possible if someone picked every game correctly. Delegates for each state will be awarded based upon the ratio of each candidate's final score.

Hey, it's a lot cheaper than a complete redo, and everyone else in the country is playing along, so why not the candidates.

The HRC camp is said to favor more traditional approaches to filling in the brackets, going with the number one seeds and the 'usual suspects' while the O-sters are said to favor a mixture of a few scattered upsets in the early rounds, followed by ceding to power rankings in the later rounds, but not being afraid of going with their gut instincts. Neither camp has released their final picks and have until noon Eastern time on Thursday to do so.
