Replace static Basketball-Reference seed probability distributions
(p_1..p_10) with dynamic simulation of each team's remaining games
based on current standings from the DB.
- Load regularSeasonStandings in parallel with participants query
- Compute remainingGames = 82 - gamesPlayed per team
- Pre-compute per-game win probability (Elo vs average opponent 1500)
on TeamEntry at construction time — not inside the hot loop
- Sort conference standings by projected wins to assign seeds, replacing
the drawSeed() weighted-probability approach
- Conference resolved from standings table, falls back to TEAMS_DATA
- Strip all p_1..p_10 seed probability data from TEAMS_DATA
- Move simulateProjectedWins to module scope (no closure captures)
- Remove const N alias; use NUM_SIMULATIONS directly
