Bracket

This is a program for filling out a bracket for the NCAA tournament. It's written in Go, which I'm just starting to learn, so it's pretty rough.

Installation

Make sure you have a working Go environment (go 1.1 is required). See the install instructions.

To install bracket.go, run:

$ go get github.com/hoop33/bracket

Make sure your PATH includes to the $GOPATH/bin directory so your commands can be easily used:

export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Usage

From the command line, type:

$ bracket

The output plays the games, region by region (ignoring the play-in games), and takes you to the final four. At that point, it's up to you to decide who wins the final games.

I'm not done tweaking the formulas yet for determining the winners.

Note: This program is for fun only, and carries no guarantees. If you win big, good on you. If you lose big, tough luck!
