There are 63 games in the tournament. Each column represents a game, and each row represents an individual bracket. Each predicted game winner is represented by a team Id entry. Team Ids correspond to team names in the "teams" dataset (included in this package).

Column names follow a pattern: [Region]_[Round]_[Game] where region can be Midwest, West, South, or East, Round is represented by "R" followed by the number of teams participating in that round, and Game is represented by "G" followed by a number. There is no game number for the round of 8, and the names for the Final Four games and the tournament final do not follow the convention.
