A White Paper on First-Place Optimization in Tournament Pools

Most bracket players try to predict the tournament.

This framework is built to optimize finishing first.

The Leverage-Calibrated Bracket™ is a structured white paper that reframes bracket pools as rank-order contests under scoring concentration. It introduces a disciplined approach to probability blending, ownership pricing, leverage scaling, and correlated path construction.

Instead of chasing early upsets or fading the public blindly, this framework formalizes first-place equity:

Expected First-Place Probability ≈ P(Path Occurs) × (1 − Ownership Concentration)

Expected First-Place Probability ≈ P(Path Occurs) × (1 − Ownership Concentration)

Inside, you’ll learn:

• Why late-round scoring concentration determines pool outcomes
• How to blend market odds, efficiency metrics, and historical base rates
• How to identify ownership mispricing and crowding
• How to scale aggression using the Leverage Coefficient (L)
• How to construct coherent advancement paths that maximize separation
• How to operationalize the model using disciplined decision architecture

This is not a picks sheet.

It is a structural allocation framework.

If you approach bracket pools analytically — or want to — this white paper provides the model.
