Would today’s most prominent bracket racers have been more successful or less successful in a previous era? What skill set has the biggest impact on success in today’s big dollar bracket world, and how has it changed? Jed and I discuss and debate these topics on this week’s podcast. In addition, we share some thoughts on the recent major announcements from the two richest events on the 2021 calendar.
