Usage

sim.bracket.source(prob.source, league, year, num.reps, outcome, round,
  teams.remaining, untangling.indices)

prob.source

source from which to use round probabilities for simulation --- "pop": ESPN's population of picks, "Pom": Ken Pomeroy's predictions (kenpom.com), or "538": predictions form fivethirtyeight.com.

league

which league: "men" (default) or "women", for prob.source.

num.reps

number of simulations to perform

outcome

passed in from sim.bracket()

round

passed in from sim.bracket()

teams.remaining

passed in from sim.bracket()

untangling.indices

passed in from sim.bracket()

Value

a 63-by-num.reps matrix storing the simulation outcome, each column encoding the outcome for a single simulation in the following order: seeds 1 through 32 after round 1, seeds 1 through 16 after round 2, seeds 1 through 8 after round 3, seeds 1 through 4 after round 4, seeds 1 and 2 after round 5, and finally seed 1 after round 6 (the champion)
