Splitting hand picks from the auto tools

Fill groups you know by hand, and save the auto tools for matchups you have no read on.

Why third place slots swing brackets

Third place picks quietly decide brackets. A soft third in the right slot gifts your favorite an easy round of 32.

Pricing draws low and fixing one group

Draws are rarer than instinct says. The simulator prices them at 15 percent.

Reset one group instead of wiping everything when you change your mind.
