A number of contestants are in 32d place. The highest degree a Freemason can attain is 32. The Freemasons were founded in honor of the Knights Templar (Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici). The Knights Templar were a secret society that many believe still exist. Their leader was Jacques de Molay, who was burned alive at the stake in 1307. Yesterday Team 1040 had a lengthy discourse regarding the burning of wood (and brackets). Greg Gilbert's phone extension is 6500, which totals 11(6+5+0+0). 1307, when totaled (1+3+0+7) also equals 11.
Could all be a coincidence. But the odds are astronomical.
One things is for sure, though. Wherever the Knights Templar are I bet they get to use streaming video to watch the tournament.
