Download advancement probabilities from 538 as a csv file and save as data/pred.538.men.2017.RData and data/pred.538.women.2017.RData. We'll want to re-do this each day from the announcement of the brackets to the beginning of the tournament, re-building the package with patch increments to the semantic versioning each time. Also add documentation to R/pred.538.men.2017.RData and R/pred.538.women.2017.R.
