Yeah its a years long project, because I am a complete nerd and love to watch the series matchup. I keep everything on excel, its a massive file in time, and I would love to know if there is a better way to track everything. I also track all the stats for the Hall of Famers.

As for the bracket, I dont quite have one yet, because there are actually 2470 teams. So the first thing I am doing is bringing that number down to 2048 teams. So I list all the the teams, I randomize 2470 numbers with the help of random.com, and then play out the matchups as they come up. I will do this until I eliminate 422 teams, then I can start the "bracket" of 2048 per say.

Massive project to say the least, but what do I care?, I truly love doing it.

Thanks for following.
