Tracking the Calcutta Championship Belts

We've been competing in Calcutta since 2009 and brackets since 2002. 

Today as I was seeing who's won the most March Madness Calcutta titles, it made me think of a championship belt. Basically who's been the leader at various points throughout our competitive history. My way of thinking is that once someone has the belt, you have to pass them in number of titles to take the belt from them. (ie Just tying them doesn't steal it.)

For some of our competitions, it's not that interesting. 

NHL Calcutta Championship Belt
Mark: 2012 - Present

(I would have to win the next five in a row to steal this belt.)

NFL Calcutta Championship Belt
Dave: 2010 - Present

(Mark would have to win six to steal this belt.)


March Madness Calcutta Championship Belt
Niraj: 2009-2011
Matt: 2012-2014
Niraj: 2015-2021
Matt: 2022 - Present

(Niraj won three of the first seven but Kirat has won three of the last four and Matt also has three titles to his name. Regardless of the outcome of Kansas-UNC, we'll have a new leader and someone who will hold on to the belt for at least two years.)
