Hi Tim,

Yes. We will know the bracket matchups (except for the play-in games)
today, then our plan is to release that today or tomorrow, along with
the full data from this season.

Sorry if I missed this, but are we predicting the four play-in games as well?

Nope -- we are not -- just the 63 picks.

Hi Danny,

Perhaps I'm missing something, but is there player data for this season in here somewhere?

Thanks

Hi Tim,

Please see our latest blog post: http://blog.smellthedata.com/2012/03/data-for-2012.html

This has a link to the full data stored as a .zip file on Google Docs. The .zip file will include two files: one for the games and one for the player-level boxscore data. The post also has a link that explains the data format.

Good luck!
