The Bracketmaster, R.I.P.
from the but-what-about-his-productivity? dept
theodp writes "In The Death of the Bracketmaster, Slate's Dan Kois eulogizes the harried, Sharpie-stained guy who organized your office NCAA pool, collected the paper brackets, and handed out the prize money. The Bracketmaster gave his heart, his soul, and 4-6 hours of each day to college basketball. But now he's obsolete, a victim of online tournament tools." That, by itself, may not be all that interesting -- but what I'm wondering is whether or not all of those web monitoring firms who put out fear mongering reports about lost productivity due to March Madness added back in the Bracketmaster's increased productivity from not having to manage the office pool any more. Somehow, I doubt it.
