Tried to seed yinz according to both skill and a general geographical regions - here's the bracket that I came up with:
Anyways you all know the deal, no cheating enforced by honor code and try to answer each question with unique correct answers. Points are determined by the uniqueness of the answer, ie if a question is "Name a Cleveland Cav" you and two other people answer "LeBron James", you each get 3 points. Low scores win. Incorrect answers are worth most popular correct answer plus 5, so don't be wrong obvs.
