# NCAA bracket prediction #

Some code to simulate a NCAA bracket.

[See current status](http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2014/en/entry?entryID=7491306)

- Use teams [Pomeroy Ratings](http://kenpom.com/).

- Simulate game outcomes by `rand() < log(rating2)/(log(rating1) + log(rating2))`

- Run X simulations of the bracket (defaults to 1000)

## Example Usage ##

```bash

# Creates tab delimited output file probabilities.tsv

make

# With more simulations

make NUM=10000

```
