Message: [QUOTE="miamicuse, post: 4233861, member: 7237"] I understand that, but this is not a "true" surprise in a sense that once the winning criteria is determined, the outcome is determined and completely repeatable each and every time. If you had used another criteria say the sum of the five starters jersey numbers with the winner going to a higher sum, it may sound random but it's still repeatable. A true randomness can be built in by say use the all time win, or the regular season win of that year (which already played a role in the seeding) or all time head to head between the two schools (if any), but assign a percentage point of that number to a real coin toss. In that every time you go through the process, it may yield different results. Just as I believe if we redo the most recent tournament with the same team all over again, the result could be completely different. Of course, I am just arguing for the sake of arguing, so don't mind me lol. [/QUOTE]
