Highlighting: Click on any of the player buttons (place, player name, max points, current points) to highlight that row. The row will highlight by italicizing the text and setting it to bold. Click on the row again to toggle the highlighting off.
What-if projections: Click on any team name button in the top area to set that team as a winner and recalculate the scores based on that team winning. This can be done for already played games as well as yet to be played games. When setting a team to win a game, that team will automatically be moved into the next round. This allows winners to be selected all the way through the bracket. Note that this does not affect the master results - it only affects your local copy.
Resetting what-if selections: Whenever a what-if scenario is set up by setting one or more teams as winners, a button in the top left corner will appear. Clicking this button will set the scores back to their original values.
Win %: Pressing this button will simulate all remaining combinations of outcomes and calculate each player's percentage chance of winning the pool. Power rankings of the remaining teams are used to calculate the relative probability of each combination. This button is functional after the first two rounds of the tournament are complete and can be used in conjunction with the what-if projections. It may take some time to perform the calculations, especially when there are 16 teams remaining, so be patient. If the number "~0.0" appears, you have less than a .001% chance of winning (i.e. the proverbial snowball's chance in hell of winning).
Player Search: Pressing this button will pop up a text dialog where you can enter a player name to search for. The search is case insensitive. Only the leading portion of the player name needs to be entered.
