This is weird, besides the great odds straight up. It's extremely vulnerable to match fixing.

I'm sure the contest contract has a clause making it void if match fixing is detected. I'm sure if there was a pay out, an investigation would occur to make sure it was legit, and if it wasn't, the feds would be brought in.

How many teams out of the 64 does someone realistically have to bribe in order to have a good shot at getting the $1B?
