Description

Compute score for bracket given actual result

Usage

score.bracket(bracket.empty, bracket.picks, bracket.outcome,
  bonus.round = c(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32), bonus.seed = rep(0, 16),
  bonus.combine = c("add", "multiply"))

Arguments

bracket.empty	a length-64 character vector giving the field of 64 teams in the tournament, in order of initial overall seeding
bracket.picks	an length-63 character vector encoding the picks (this is the bracket to be evaluated)
bracket.outcome	a 63-row matrix encoding the outcome of multiple simulations of the tournament. bracket.picks will be scored against each outcome
bonus.round	a length-6 vector giving the number of points awarded in your pool's scoring rules for correct picks in each round (default is 2^round)
bonus.seed	a length-16 vector giving the bonus awarded for correctly picking winner based on winner's seed (default is zero)
bonus.combine	how to combine the round bonus with the seed bonus to get the number of points awarded for each correct pick: "add" (default) or multiply

Value

a vector giving the score for bracket.picks for each outcome in the matrix bracket.oucome
